Graphite, black berry, lush textured with delicious layers of vibrant fruit and herbs - chocolate, plum, currant, dried herbs. Very layered, plush and delicious. A great representation of our valley floor Cabernet sites which promote texture and early drinkability while retaining complexity and seriousness.
The T-E-N Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of our valley floor vineyard sites. We look to the valley floor for plush texture and fruit – and that is clearly evident in the 2021 T-E-N.
