Note di degustazione
Deep garnet-brick in color, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Moose Valley Vineyard has evolved plum pudding, raisin cake, tobacco and new leather notes on the nose with hints of dried lavender, dusty soil, star anise and powdered cinnamon. Big, concentrated, full-bodied and full-on decadent, the palate delivers powerful black fruit preserves and spicy layers with a plush texture and good long finish.

(from the estate vineyard on lower Howell Mountain Road , planted on a combination of decomposed volcanic ash and redder, more nutrient-rich soil) Bright ruby. Deeper and riper on the nose than the Walther River Block, with aromas of cassis, black raspberry and bitter chocolate. Offers good density and depth of flavor, with sweet dark berry flavors complicated by minerals and bitter chocolate. Finishes with big, broad, nicely sweet tannins.
Bright medium ruby. Vibrant aromas of cassis, wild blueberry and menthol, lifted by a violet topnote. Juicy, spicy and intense, with noteworthy sweetness to the crushed dark berry flavors. This one has the sheer material to support its serious tannins. Finishes with powerful lingering fruit and considerably more sweetness than the comparatively dry 2006.
