Ashton Kelder Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2006

With strong mocha and dark chocolate aromas supported by fresh cherry and black current fruit, this wine leaves you wanting more. The subtle tobacco and leather character adds to the complexity of the smooth tannins and long aftertaste. This wine is unfiltered to ensure a complex, rich palate and to prolong the fresh aromas.

A perfect accompaniment to this sensuous wine will be a perfectly grilled steak, or a decadent chocolate dessert.
