An appealing light straw colour. Light with lovely ripe, attractive rounded fruit. Fresh floral nose and an exciting acid balance.
Bright crimson. Youthful aromatics of mulberries, blueberries floated with jasmine, white pepper trimmed in a sappy, herbal edge. Pomegranate and red-fruited zip carry through on the palate, long and lightly spicy. The tannins are smooth yet firm with tactile grip, sharpened by a bright line of blood-orange freshness. Energetic, vivid, expressive.
Ruby Cabernet is a single variety developed in California from a cross of Cabernet Sauvignon with Carignan. Deep in colour, medium-bodied and rich in flavour with very soft tannins which make the wine approachable within just a couple of months after the vintage.
