Hatton Daniels Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

The 2014 Cabernet is deep purple in color, with a bright rim that verges on fuchsia. The nose is loaded with exotic aromas of cocoa, gingerbread, violets and dates, along with more typical cabernet notes of kirsch and blackberry. The palate opens with juicy blackberry and black cherry flavors, but quickly develops complex layers of espresso, wet slate, and iron. Luxurious without being over the top or over ripe, good acid and tannin structure suggest a wine that will age well and develop even more complexity as it ages.
