Primary aromas of blackberry and dark cherry are complemented by notes of dark chocolate, freshly turned earth and bay leaf. Balanced acidity, textured tannins and subtle French oak envelop and focus the sweet, dark berry fruit into the long finish.
Cool red berry fruits, but berry fruits that are also ripe and rounded. The tannins are smooth and welcoming, yet cabernet tannins will do what cabernet tannins will do: sweep through the palate. Accompanying them is a neat acidity and a slick, balanced alcohol. Cabernet sauvignon in equilibrium.
This is a wine of great intensity. It has distinctive blackcurrant and cassis fruit flavours. Subtle oak characters of cedar cigar box and spice are also evident. The tannins are fine and elegant - a hallmark of the varietal. The palate is well balanced, complex and fulfilling and lingers on the finish.
This is a rich full-bodied wine yet at the same time, remains in balanced across the palate with fine, elegant tannins the hallmark of great Cabernet.
