Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This French Pays D’Oc Cab Sauvignon shows delicious strawberry, cassis and spice on the nose. The palate gives lush berries with slight herbal notes, good acidity and lingering finish; great value here!
Tasted August 2018
Abbotts & Delaunay Les Fruits Sauvages (2016) is a great value Cabernet Sauvignon from the Pays d'Oc, Languedoc wine region. Grapes were sourced from the foothills of the Cévennes and from Aude Valley. Look for bright dark fruit, spice and mocha flavours on this well-balanced and structured full-bodied red. Pair with grilled long ribs. - Community Wine Reviews
