Tasting Notes
Dark berry and plum fill the nose and palate with a hint of herbs that speak quintessentially of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine finishes fresh and light that begs for another sip. A delightful exploration of a sessional Cabernet.
Food Pairing
This elegant and balanced Cab makes a great pairing with meats like steak or roasted lamb, Portobello mushrooms or cheeses like aged cheddar.
