Tasting note

Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon should bring aromas of black cherry, cassis and a hint of bay leaf. The 2023 Windemere wine is expected to feel youthful and full, with generous fruit held by firm tannins and bright acidity giving the palate a clear, balanced line. Peak years span 2027 to 2031, within a horizon ending in 2036; the finish should show more savory character as dark fruit recedes.
