Smooth and lush, with bright notes of plum and berry. Tangy, ripe, and tannic; balanced and complex, with a rich, persistent finish.

Wine Tasting Notes
This vintage, the Landslide Vineyard produced a wine that is youthful, elegant, and with deep fruit character. Opaque and deep red with a vibrant ruby edge. The nose shows dark bramble, violet, and cassis, with notes of forest floor and subtle black peppercorn. Inviting, fresh, and intriguing, this wine will continue to integrate flavors and aromas over time. Savory, dense flavors of blackberry, dried blueberry, and dark chocolate are followed by a broad mid-palate and sturdy tannins. The finish is long and lingering. The acid balance makes this wine inviting, rich, and delicious. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with pappardelle pasta with duck and porcini ragu, braised short ribs and polenta, or grilled portobello mushroom on toasted brioche.
