Checkerboard Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Kings Row 2013

Taken from the lower blocks of the Aurora Vineyard, where steep slopes and western exposures lead to ripe, concentrated fruit which is fermented in steel before ageing in new French oak. A clean, rich aroma invites you to discover the great purity of fruit within. Cassis, plum, peppers, and mint just scratch the surface of descriptors in this densely packed, ageworthy wine. Lively, long, and perfectly balanced.
