sestina celebrates old-vine cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc from the red willow and bacchus vineyards. the initial punch and power gives way to a wine with sharp acidity and somewhat constrained, leafy fruit flavors. for those who crave old-vine complexity and embrace the herbal side of cabernet, this wine will be a revelation. tight and focused, it responds well to several hours of decanting.
