The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Egoiste is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and reveals intense cassis, menthol and black plums notes with hints of mulberries, mocha and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with minted blackcurrant flavors, supported by firm, grainy tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long.
