Cathedral Cellar Triptych 1999

Name: Cathedral Cellar Triptych 1999
Brand: Cathedral Cellar
SKU: 6085

This delicious award-winning blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc was all the dimensions of a beautifully crafted wine. There's fruit a plenty from cherry and plum to cassis which is still shrouded in new cedary oak with supple ripe tannins. It is remarkably elegant despite its richness the tannic strength to age.

The best deserves the best. Sirloin, T-bone, entrecote or saddle of venison or ripe Brie.
