Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Deserves a curtain call. Pronounced aromas of cherry and raspberry preserves, cassis, eucalyptus and sandalwood introduced a round, rich palette with a flavour reminiscent of lush raspberries, dark cherries, oak and sweet spice. Displaying deep ruby and purple hues, this Californian cabernet sauvignon showed some silky, moderately pulling tannins too. Superb.

Consume this cab its own or pair with slow cooked flank steak and grilled root veggies. Enjoy.
