The deep ruby hue hints at its complexity and sophistication. This Bordeaux style blend exudes rich aromas of blackcurrant,ripe plum, and dark cherry, intertwined with cedar, pencil shavings, and cigar-box spice. Mocha, crushed violets, and graphite add further intrigue. On the palate, black fruit flavors are supported by finely integrated oak spice. Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and intensity, Merlot lends plush texture and ripe fruit richness, and Cabernet Franc introduces herbal complexity. Silky yet firm tannins lead to a long, layered finish with lingering notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee bean, and spice. While already rewarding in its youth, The Taberer continues to evolve over the next decade.
