NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Cadence Tapteil Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a wonderfully balanced and complex red wine.It offers aromas of dark cherry, cassis, and blackberry with hints of tobacco, cedar, and earth. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and smooth with flavors of ripe dark fruits, baking spices, and a touch of oak. The finish is long and lingering with ripe tannins providing a nice balance. This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon with great aging potential.
