Tenafeate Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

Sourced from the Northern One Tree Hill vineyard, the wine spent a year and a half maturing in new and older French oak hogsheads. Deep magenta with a purple/red rim, the nose exhibits notes of plums, black jellybeans, chocolate, blackberries, spices, coffee grinds, tobacco leaves, dried herbs and licorice. This is attractive with balance and focus, a wine of medium to good length, finishing with fine tannins and a flick of juicy acidity. There is a sleek texture throughout. Much to like here. Enjoy it over the next six to eight years.
