Sonata Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Rich plum colour. Primary dark fruit, tobacco, spice, mint and herbaceous hints on the nose. Deeper aromas of dark berries and blackcurrants. The palate has an edgy spiciness with structured tannins. The lively acidity adds to the wine, which is suited to foods with savory, sweet and sour profile.

This wine is suited to foods that contain some smokey elements, as well as robust meat and tomato components.
