Bright purple/red with dark core. Bright Cabernet fruit aromas with toasty oak. Medium bodied, complex at the first instance, with fine layers of oak overlaying ripe Cabernet fruits. This wine has persistent fine tannins and savoury fruit sweetness to resolve the finish. This wine will reward those who cellar.
