Description
The B Side Cabernet Sauvignon is a deeply concentrated and expressive wine. Aromas of boysenberry, currants, Kalamata olive, and dried lavender are pronounced on the nose. This is a full-bodied wine with juicy layers of dark fruit, jam, baked pie and hints of cinnamon flavor. The wine is aged for 12 months in predominately French oak barrels with a small portion seeing time in American Oak. The toasty French oak frames the wine and the additional small amount of American oak gives a pleasing, sweet coconut lift. The wine is deep, well-structured, and intensely flavored with soft tannins.
