Tasting note
This rich, seductive Napa Cab always impresses with cassis, spicy plum and hints of chocolate. Bold and flavourful with the structure to cellar - but why wait? Pair with roasted chicken, Kobe beef sliders or standing rib roast.
This dry ruby coloured wine features medium woody, empyreumatic, spicy, fruity and vegetal scents and offers a broad texture as well as fleshy tannins.
Black berry fruit and ripe cherries leap from the glass, supported by toasty vanilla and cocoa. Full and fleshy across the midpalate, dark fruit reigns, balanced by good acidity and bright cherry notes. Smooth, fruit-driven tannins cradle the finish, integrating subtle elements of oak and spice. A real crowd pleaser, this is a wine for all occasions.
With fragrant aromas of red fruit, cedar and spice cake, our Cabernet Sauvignon shows the elegant, complex character of Napa Valley in an approachable and enjoyable wine. The palate evolves from bright red currants to dark cherry pie and blackberry jam, accented by pepper and clove spices. Pleasant floral notes join dark chocolaty tannins across the finish and into a lingering finale. Pair with grilled meats, charcuteries or tomato based pasta.
