2023 Windstorm
Red Hills
Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Hills is a robust and dynamic wine that beautifully captures the essence of its volcanic terroir. It boasts a deep, rich garnet color, inviting the first sip. On the nose, this Cabernet exudes a complex bouquet of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, enhanced by a distinctive minerality and notes of espresso and dark chocolate, which add depth and intrigue.
The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with a core of ripe black cherry and cassis flavors, framed by firm, well-structured tannins. Layers of spice, leather, and a hint of tobacco from the oak aging process contribute to a rich, textured mouthfeel. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering note of mocha and a subtle smoky undertone.
