NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The D.R.Stephens Moose Valley Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, with its deep garnet hue, welcomes with an opulent bouquet teeming with blackcurrants, ripe blackberries, and hints of mocha. Delicate undertones of lavender, cigar box, and crushed graphite further enhance the aromatic profile. On the palate, it unfolds with a rich tapestry of dark fruits, complemented by nuances of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of green bell pepper. The wine's structure is impressive, with robust yet refined tannins and a balanced acidity that ensures vibrancy. The finish is long and memorable, echoing with the lingering flavors of dark chocolate, plum, and a whisper of smoky oak.
