          Winemaker Stephane Vivier matures this Cabernet in 50% new French oak for 22 months. Classic aromas of blackberry, graphite and sweet oak all come together on this medium- to full-bodied red with crisp acidity, and burly tannins, finishing with sweet herbs and crushed stones.

          Raspberries, currants, licorice, chocolate orange and peppercorns on the nose. Full-bodied with firm, velvety tannins. Creamy, plush and velvety with a chocolatey finish.

          Tasting notes        
        The dark ruby color is enticing. Blackberry and cassis aromas are jumping off the glass. On the palate, it has a concentrated body, harmonious tannins and a black peppery and fresh finish. Intriguing and full body. We recommend pairing it with red meat and all grilling fairs. 92% Cabernet Sauvignon 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec. Aged 22 months in 50% new French oak, 50% in 2-year old oak.
