There is a purity in this wine: more acid and fore-mouth focused than other Cabernet, it is tart, bright, perfumed and refreshing. Savory aromas of dried earth, dried currant, tobacco, and leather give way to rich black fruit, bolstered by bright acidity and a great tannic structure. This wine begs for grilled asparagus, roasted mushrooms, and blistered tomatoes with boar collar or a rib roast.
