Original price was: $110.14.Current price is: $99.13.

Bold aromas of ripe brambles, mulberries, blackberries, and cassis dominate an inviting, sophisticated nose with whiffs of graphite and cedar. The complex berry fruit character of the nose follows through onto a juicy palate with flavours of blueberries, plum sauce, and nuances of Cape fynbos, bay leaf, wet gravel, and pencil lead. Fine-grained, powdery tannins and integrated lemony acidity add to the fine structure of the wine and its exceptional balance. Subtle notes of cocoa powder, dark chocolate and oregano persist on a smooth, rich
finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine grape variety that is widely considered to be one of the finest grape varieties in the world for producing high-quality wines, and is the dominant grape in Bordeaux region. The grapes are small, thick-skinned and yield wine that can be very full-bodied with high tannins.

Often aging Cabernet Sauvignon wines in oak barrels will impart a vanilla and toast flavor to the wine. It has a high level of acidity and alcohol, and can be enjoyed well after a decade or more. It pairs well with red meats, particularly beef, as well as hard, strong cheeses.
