Four Cousins Collection Cabernet Sauvignon

Lightly wooded. Rich chocolate and mocha toastiness on the nose with a ripe blackcurrant palate. A soft and smooth mouth feel with well balanced tannins ensure early drinkability.

The wine drinks lovely with red meat dishes, grills, roasts and flavourful cheeses.
