TASTING NOTES
This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the classic Coonawarra region of South Australia. Deep crimson with a youthful purple hue. Fresh aromas of cassis, mint and eucalypt entwined with earth and spice. On the palate, generous ripe flavours of blackcurrant and cherry melded with hints of mint, cassis and fennel. A beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with lovely fruit concentration, depth, integrated oak and velvety tannins.
REVIEWS
