Brimming with aromas of blackberry, cassis, and sweet dark fruits, this full-bodied wine highlights an excellent blend of Paso Robles, Monterey County, and San Benito county Cabernet Sauvignon.  Flavors of blackberries and plum are supported by ripe tannins and integrated, sweet vanilla oak characteristics.  This is a wine with beautiful elegance that will be soft and approachable now, and will further improve with careful cellaring for six to eight years.
