A stunning Cabernet Sauvignon with bright fruit and spicy oak evident on the bouquet. The palate is multi layered with ripe fruit flavours and lots of structure. This is a well balanced wine with excellent integrated oak flavours and soft tannins on the finish.

It would make a good partner to grilled beef tenderloin, roast duck or most blue cheeses.
