Vriesenhof Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Name: Vriesenhof Cabernet Sauvignon 2003
Brand: Vriesenhof Vineyards
SKU: 23900

A classic Cabernet Sauvignon tight in texture with an underlying elegance and promise of decades of maturation possibilities. The wine is taut, with varietal aromas, dark fruit, cassias, a hint of mint on the nose and graphite on the palate. Of this particular vintage only 2 562 bottles were made.

The Cabernet Sauvignon shows best with venison and beef.
