Tasting notes
This wine reveals the unique expression of our D.O.’s Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Millahue Valley’s multiple microclimates influence the wine's deep complexity, linear acidity, and delicate freshness. Cooling coastal breezes temper our hot afternoons and yield Cabernet Sauvignon that is elegant, powerful and dynamic, and Cabernet Franc that is a delicate and distinctly mineral. The nose is aromatic and floral, refined by the experience of six previous vintages. On the palate, the wine is lively and tense with silky round the tannins and flavors of ripe blackcurrant, red plum and a finishing note of wild thyme.
