Aged in 50% new and 50% second-use American Oak from the Duncan family’s The Oak cooperage in Higbee Missouri. A compelling brooding muscular rendition of Cabernet from Alexander Valley with gorgeous boysenberry notes black currants and rose petals laced with vanillin notes and toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied with black currants ripe blackberry and black cherry notes framed by velvety tannins laced with that irresistible vanillin note. Toasty oak spices lend a hint of sweetness balanced by grippy acidity. Long and complex revealing umami garrigue and crushed slatestone on the finish.
