Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon presents aromas of freshly crushed cassis, blackberries and pencil shavings with nuances of dried Mediterranean herbs and toast. Medium-bodied and showing a nice purity of varietal-expressive flavors, the medium level of grainy tannins carries through a long, lively finish. Drink it now to 2016.
