Robert Parker

Cabernet Sauvignon

“Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Cuvée is a deep garnet-purple color and somewhat reserved at first, opening up to reveal fresh blackcurrants, crushed blackberries, and black raspberries with notes of menthol and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied to full-bodied with a rich core of vibrant black fruit, it has a firm, refined texture and finishes with lovely freshness.” (Wine Advocate - 2019)

Wine making

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at around 25°C. The length of maceration (15 to 25 days) is determined based on the vintage and the potential of each vineyard block. Tasting is the sole criterion. Regular racking provides the oxygen needed to allow the tannins from the wood and the wine to blend.
