This is a rich, warming and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon. Intense ruby in the glass; blackberry, blackcurrant and ripe plum show prominently on the nose, following through on the palate, which is layered with pure, fresh dark fruit underpinned by coffee, cacao and subtle, herbaceous spice. Tannins are exceptionally well integrated, interplaying with fresh, lively acidity to create a long, satisfying finish.
