Dornier Equanimity Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

A good example of this noble variety with opulent fruit, great structure and the ability to age well. The nose presents a full bouquet ranging from cassis, blackberries and pencil shavings supported by hints of oak and cigar box aromas. The palate has density and concentration with firm tannins with well-balanced acidity and a long finish.

Best with beef, lamb and game dishes
