Dornier Equanimity Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

A good example of this noble variety with concentrated fruit, great structure and the ability to age well. Intense black cherry colour with a full bouquet of cassis, black berries, cigar box, pencil shavings and subtle oak and a hint of mint to ensure freshness. The palate has density and concentrated flavours of dark fruit with elegant tannins to create a well-balanced wine with a long finish.

Best with beef, lamb and game dishes.
