Wild raspberry and cinnamon scents introduce the Cape Lookout. Creamy red raspberry and blackberry fruit flavors are accented by a hint of sweet spice. The wine expands in the mouth - red cherries and a sense of minerality join the mix. Silky tannins are discernable and enhance the sense of this as an ideally complete wine. The Cape Lookout has rich complexity and a layered, voluptuous finish. 177 cases made.
