The purple-colored 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series contains 1% Petit Verdot. The fruit was sourced primarily from the famous Champoux Vineyard in which the winery is a partner and the Sagemoor Vineyard one of the oldest in the state. The Sagemoor fruit for this wine was taken from vines planted in 1972. The wine delivers a splendid nose of smoke mineral Asian spices violets black currant and blackberry. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with a velvety texture excellent depth savory flavors plenty of volume and a lengthy finish. It will continue blossoming for another 3-4 years and should provide pleasure through its 20th birthday.
