Tasting Note
This wine displays aromas of dark fruit, including black berry and plum, with notes of eucalyptus, and baking spice. This well-structured wine has ample tannins, and balanced acidity. A rich, but balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that can be enjoyed now or cellared for as long as you’re will to wait.
