Cabernet Sauvignon, Ex-Libris

Stylistically, Ex-Libris Cabernet Sauvignon leads with its beautiful, plummy/cassis fruit, but there is also a bit more restraint and structure (and Bordeaux spirit) than your typical domestic Cab. On the palate there are cassis, earth, sandalwood and cigar box notes with a beautiful backbone of acidity and tannin to balance. The wine is aged for 22 months in predominantly French oak, with about 15% new.
