Checkerboard Vineyards 'Aurora' 2018

Winemaker Tasting Notes: On entry, the wine is savory with vanilla bean, dark red fruits, and aged proscuitto.   It’s then broad, fleshy and full-bodied with spiced plum and caramel and subtler notes of red pepper flake and leather.  The tannins are supple and silky and provide the foundation for a lingering finish.

Winemaker: Martha McClellan. 

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon.
