Softer, richer than Alex. Slippery tannins, very seductive. Dense fruit - gives an old vine feel to the wine. Dry grown. Deliciously drinkable now but will develop. Lovely wine

Deep purple-black in color, the 2010 Messenger Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon open with a slightly mute nose before revealing notes of freshly crushed black currant, cedar and sage with hints of black olives, meat, chocolate and bark. Medium-bodied, tightly knit with enlivened acid, medium firm, fine tannins and a long finish. Drink it from 2014 to 2022+.
