WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES: A dark garnet in colour with blue and purple robe. In the glass, the aroma expresses currants, blackberry, cocoa and smoke with hints of allspice. A full-bodied wine that expressses a complex tannin and flavour profile even though it is youthful at release. The mid-palate is layered with typical Cabernet Sauvignon characterstics that are underpinned by generous dark fruit notes from the Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. With a structured, long finish, this wine will truly shine in food pairings and with time in the cellar.
ENJOY FROM: 6-15+ years from vintag
