2009 Grand Ciel Cabernet
Cabernet Sauvignon
Showing initial aromas of classic cabernet characteristics of cassis, Herbs de Provence, blueberries and black pepper, it doesn’t stop here. This vintage continues building its expression through anise, sweet snapdragon notes, cardamom, tapenade, orange zest, and malty cocoa. On the palate, it explodes with a wide spectrum of flavors including blueberries and toast, fresh black currants, blackberries, black olive, and hints of vanilla bean and wood spice. There is also a savory, juicy, meaty side to the wine showing power and pedigree with perfectly ripened fruit, fine oak integration, and a lengthy spice-loaded finish.
