Three Liter 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep, red and opulent in color, this wine opens with the vibrant scent of dark cherry and blackberry, subtly layered with warm notes of vanilla.

The palate is explosive, bright, balanced – cassis at the center, with flourishes of cocoa and sweet Tobacco that provide nuance and continually shift points of interest.

Velvety meshed tannins make this wine lush, yet structured, with a texture that grabs attention, expands and unfolds.  Long drawn-out finish.

Chuck Wagner is the winemaker.
