Youthful, lively wine bursting with fresh, ripe berry aromas.
Juicy boysenberry and wild raspberry are
wonderfully expressive on the palate, with a
hint of cherry pie and flecks of shaved cocoa
adding dimension. Beautifully balanced, the
Cub has more than enough structure to stand
up to the big boys!
Handpicked
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot were sorted,
gently fermented and aged in tight grain
French oak barrels with thick staves to allow the
fruit and oak to integrate slowly. Syrah, aged in
600L Taransaud puncheons, adds richness and
depth to the mid-palate.
