The nose is layered and compelling, with blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry lifted by notes of violets, black truffle, pencil shavings, dark chocolate, and sweet pipe tobacco.\n\nThe palate is full-bodied, richly textured, and seamlessly balanced, with dense dark fruit wrapped in polished tannins and refined oak spice. Despite its youthful intensity, the wine already feels composed and harmonious, while its structure suggests outstanding aging potential over the next decade or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Cabernet Sauvignon grapes come predominantly from Champoux Vineyard, with a smaller portion from Mach One Vineyards, both located in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA, where warm conditions and well-drained soils are especially well suited to premium Cabernet. Fruit is hand-harvested to ensure only the best grapes make it to the cellar, where the wine is gently fermented before spending 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels to build structure, depth, and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a natural match for grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, venison, or rich dishes with mushroom and truffle accents.
