The 2009 Promise Cabernet Sauvignon radiates a dark, midnight purple core, with opaque magenta rims. It bursts with warm allspice and cedar, combining nicely with the sweet aromas of freshly baked black berry pie and savory notes of freshly roasted coffee. The palate is massive, and layered with succulent flavors of crème de cassis, chocolate, anis, with hints of coconut and black pepper. This symphony of taste is underscored with rich and silky tannins, which frame this exceptional wine.
