Why we love this wine:
Top of the range Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon packed with juicy cassis richness. Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller amounts of Bordeaux reds. Together, they offer rich, ripe berry flavours and firm sweet tannins with a lingering, velvety finish.
Brilliant with prime rib or roasted leg of lamb or sausages.
Winemaker / tasting notes:
A wine of great energy, length, and finesse, 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with floral notes, cedar and pencil shavings followed by ripe blackberry, cassis and red currant jam. Fresh and focused with pleasing acid and tannin structure building tension along the palate to the lingering finish.
