If you're opening it tonight, give it 60 to 90 minutes in the decanter to let it fully express itself. This is your special occasion Cabernet—ideal for Valentine's Day dinners, milestone celebrations, holiday gatherings, or impressing serious wine collectors. It's also perfect for fall and winter evenings when you want a wine with the depth and warmth to match heartier cuisine and cooler weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAging: 20 months in French oak barrels. 80% New French Oak, 20% Once Filled French Oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% Cabernet Sauvignon. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis highly-allocated estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon tells the story of our pursuit of purity, elegance, and immense structure.
