Kayra 'Vintage' Series - Cabernet Sauvignon- Merlot-Bogazkere

Density is the lesson with this vintage series wine. The dry winter of 2006 and heat of August and September of 2007 ripened the cabernet and merlot to the extreme. A study of maturity presented in every bottle.
Bell pepper of Cabernet and the dried herb tendencies of the merlot are brought to grips with the powerful tannins and jammy blackberries of Bogazkere blended in for strength.
