Ashton Kelder Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Name: Ashton Kelder Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Brand: Ashton Kelder
SKU: 17252

This wine has a strong aniseed or liquorice bouquet with lots of supportive berry flavours and refreshing olfactory mint tones. This strong bouquet is enhanced by the ripe fruitiness and the vanilla of the delicate background oak.

A robust wine, this red will complement a perfectly seared steak.
