Aroma and Palate This classic Cabernet Sauvignon is full bodied and bursting with blackcurrant. Eighteen months in oak reveal sweet vanilla on the nose with the oak perfectly complementing the dark berry flavours. Fine, sandy tannins complete this well structured wine.

AWARDS AND ACCOLADES
“Has retained deep colour; a full-bodied cabernet with blackcurrant fruit to the fore, the earthy tannins and oak (from 18 months in barrel) entirely in balance. Great value.”
