A.J. stands for Ashlee Jenna who hand selected these special lots of wine.  Just two barrels of this luscious Estate Cabernet Sauvignon were produced.

Rich and concentrated; distinctive aromas of blackberry preserves, sweet tobacco, Earl Grey tea and cedar welcome the nose. Soft and lush on the palate with firm tannins that yield to ripe plum, black cherry, crème de cassis and Mulberry jam accents on the mid-palate finishing with cocoa powder, leather and mocha notes.

Plum preserves, blackcurrant compote and crème brulée abundantly greet the nose. Rich and concentrated with soft, voluptuous tannin, the palate radiates essences of jammy fruit and black forest cake.

Flavors of crushed cranberry, caraway seed, rose hips and dried sage linger while gravely minerality prevails.

Hues of crimson jewel drape the glass while essence of blackberry puree, toasted oak, balsamic reduction and reminiscent of a chocolate coated strawberry grace the nose.... if that isn't intriguing, I don't know what is!
