Comments:

This wine truly hints at greatness, but the mellow fruit and oak in front quickly gives way to a thin slightly bitter finish. I rather expected more considering some of the other wines available at this price point.

 

From the Label:

"Cabernet Sauvignon grapes hang on the trellis long after harvest begins each fall. Patience becomes a duty, not a virtue, as we wait for the grapes to ripen. Cabernet Sauvignon reminds me to slow down and wait for nature to unlock her secrets. So I relax and enjoy this wine full of blackcherry flavors, a hint of chocolate and aromas of vanilla and spice. Patience is truly rewarded."
