Vibrant ruby color, this wine has a luscious fruit driven nose, reminiscence of plums, ripe red fruit, chocolate and liquorice. Persist in a palate with good fruits tones complimented by silky tannins that carry wine to a velvety finish. Drink up to 2025.Vintage NotesFairly dry spring brought on bud break a couple of weeks earlier than usual and the early development continued throught flowering, veraison, harvest. Growing conditions were perfect throughout the summer. Grapes had a long hanging time to achieve full maturity and concentrate flavours.2014 show pure and polished tannins with good acidity to age well. The 2014 is the first vintage that we have bottled with this in mind and captures the essence of what a great Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon can be. – Trinite Estate
