Lockhart Wines are produced with a clear goal: to make straight-forward, food-friendly wines. The fruit in this bottle is outstanding in every aspect, the Lockhart Cabernet boasts a dense black ruby/purple color followed by a big nose of loamy soil, cedar, licorice, chocolate, and creme de cassis as well as a hint of toast jump from the glass of this muscular, dense, full-bodied, concentrated, fleshy wine and enough complexity to make this wine age several more years.
