The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection is a rich, opulent and flamboyant style of Cabernet, offering an abundance of crème de cassis, blackberry jam, licorice, melted chocolate, vanilla bean and sweet oak spice. Full-bodied and layered, the wine is soft, plush and immediately accessible, with a velvety texture and ripe, generous fruit at its core. The tannins are polished and supple, and the finish is long, lush and heavily marked by ripe fruit and toasty oak. This is a hedonistic, forward-style Cabernet meant for early enjoyment rather than extended cellaring.
