Description
On the nose, this luscious Cabernet exhibits aromas of bright cherry, bilberry and elderflower with undertones of dried herbs and citrus. Dense but smooth tannins and juicy red fruit grace the palate with savory notes of tobacco, bay leaves and espresso beans that carry into a long finish. Enjoy this wine with roasted rack of lamb, Wagyu beef and truffled roasted fingerling potatoes.
