Aged for 15 months in 100% French oak barrels, bottled unfined and filtered in August 2009 ans released on September 15, 2010, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts an intense bouquet of black cherry, plumb and berry aromas, intermingled with notes of anise and cedar.
The flavor is of rich cherry, red plumb and raspberry with white pepper, tobacco and all-spice. Full-bodied with sweet, chewy tannins, balanced ripeness and fresh acidity.

"The classic 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon tastes like proprietor Alfred Tesseron’s over-achieving 5th growth Pauillac, Chateau Pontet Canet moved to Napa. Bursting with creme de cassis, flower, lead pencil, and spice characteristics, it is a dense, pure, full-bodied wine with a terrific texture. This is a gorgeously harmonious, seamless Cabernet Sauvignon with awesome concentration as well as aging potential. Drink it now and over the next 25 years."
