Tasting Notes

Deep purple in colour. The Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes give the wine its deep purple colour and flavours of blackcurrant and blackberry, while the Cabernet Sauvignon contributes backbone as well as a freshness to the blend. This wine has structured tannins, a full body and notes of spearmint and graphite, supported by a backdrop of cedar and fresh tobacco. The finish is long and silky.
