Planted in 1984, Klipsun Vineyards is known for its powerful and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Tasting Notes
Style
Complex, Elegant, Rich, Smooth, Structured
Flavor
Berry, Blackberry, Sage, Oak, Spice
Aroma
Blackberry, mulberry and olallieberry with a spicy oak note. As the wine ages, the aromas will meld into a medley of fruit, spice and aromatic dry herbs.
Taste
Immaculate refinement and finesse. Rich blackberry and a hint of wild sage. Pleasant acidity and a rich, balanced mouthfeel followed by a well-developed mid palate. The result is cleverly integrated tannin structure that is evident but seamless. The finish is smooth and lingering.
