Dark Ruby in colour with aromas of plum, blackberry, ripe strawberry and oak. It is medium to full bodied with medium acidity and some grippy tannins. On the palate it has flavours of plum, ripe red fruit and black pepper. This will pair great with BBQ’s ribs or streak. Tasted on July 15, 2018.

An aromatic and fruit-forward value driven California Cabernet Sauvignon with a black cherry, vanilla and prune and fig bouquet. Flavours of stewed cherry, blackberry and balsamic notes with robust furry tannins, medium body and finish. A perfect pairing with char grilled steaks and roasted red peppers.
