The 2009 Sympa Reserve Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, predominantly from See clone cuttings from Napa Valley’s famed Backus vineyard. Cabernet clones 191 and 337 contribute complexity and 2% Petit Verdot adds aromatics, color and lush notes of blueberry. We aged this vintage for 22 months in new French oak barrels to contribute tannin complexity and notes of cedar and spice. The aromas of this bold Cabernet Sauvignon reveal black fruit, toasted fennel, tea leaf and dark cocoa.  Flavors evoke memories of berry pie filling accented by bright, mouth-watering notes of cranberry and currant. A silky weight encompasses the palate and chewy tannins linger on the finish.
