Cakebread Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Generous aromas of black currant, dried cherry, and raspberry jam flow from the glass, with dark chocolate, coffee, dried rosemary, and fig notes emerging over time. The palate is full-bodied and rich, offering concentrated flavors of ripe cherry and blackberry, along with hints of mocha, leather, baking spices, and rocky minerality. Firm yet opulent tannins drive the wine to a long, powerful finish.
