Rich and powerful, this Cabernet Sauvignon also demonstrates great purity of fruit, revealing a bouquet of blackcurrant, mint and lovely toasted nuances. Its structure and its still somewhat firm tannins promise it a very good future in the cellar. A wine that will reach its peak after ten or fifteen years of aging.
Rockford's Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon bursts with aromas of red berries, licorice, bitter chocolate and hints of smoke. Its fruit comes from vineyards along Rifle Range Road, directly behind the Rockford Winery. The soil is composed of heavy, dark clay, which gives the Cabernet Sauvignon a bold, earthy profile. The palate has strong, taut acidity, with flavours of cassis, black plum, herbs and a solid helping of oak.
