in 45% new oak barrels (55% French, 45% American) and 55% two-year-old French and American oak barrels before bottling

in June, 2016. The barrel coopers used included Ermitage, François Frères, Demptos (French & American), Canton (American)

and Barrel Associates (American).

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon highlights blackberry, dried blueberry and violet with notes of graphite and cloves

followed by opulent layers of black currant jam, roasted coffee, tobacco, dried fig and vanilla bean. A full-bodied, deeply concentrated

wine with supple tannins and a lengthy finish.
