Flavours of blackberry, blackcurrant, and vanilla oak with a full-bodied weight. Try it with gourmet hamburgers. Finishes with notes of cocoa and cedar smoke. Polished tannins. Decant 1-2 hours and pair with a pepper steak.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: pulled pork, burgers, hard cheese, grilled rare steak, smoked beef ribs.
