"It has a ripe, dark cherry and blueberry-scented bouquet with touches of graphite and a faint hint of apricot blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe, generous entry, crisp acidity and very pure, graphite-tinged fruit towards the elegant, persistent finish. This is an understated Cabernet that does not cut back on flavor. Excellent."

"The 2011 Tilia Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced and vinified exactly the same way as the Merlot and Bonarda. It has a ripe, dark cherry and blueberry-scented bouquet with touches of graphite and a faint hint of apricot blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe, generous entry, crisp acidity and very pure, graphite-tinged fruit towards the elegant, persistent finish. This is an understated Cabernet that does not cut back on flavor. Excellent."
