Palate

Focused and fresh, this exceptionally concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon showcases elegant tannin structure and a silky mouthfeel. Expressions of deep blackberries, blackcurrants and dried herbs are tightly wound on the mid-palate. Yet it’s finesse and refinement are apparent on the long finish.
