Painted Wolf the den, Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

A classy medium to full-bodied wine with typical Cab flavours of black currant, brambly fruit, cigar box augmented by toasty oak. The wine has a lovely rich mid-mouth texture, a long, fruit-driven finish with fresh acid and ripe tannins.

Enjoy with a variety of meat dishes like home-made lamb burgers, sticky roast pork belly or braised lamb shanks.
