Craig Haynes WSET3 scored this wine: 89/100
Pleasing rich dark berries, sweet cedar, chocolate, and vanilla bean scents announced a full body experience marked with supple tannins, light touch acidity and jammy flavours - reminiscent of cinnamon, cocoa, black licorice and warm dark berries.
Desert dry and with a weighty aftertaste, the cabernet sauvignon spent some time in barrels that had aged Canadian whisky yet its sweetness level was pleasantly low key. In my glass, this Californian’s aromas stole centre stage. Match this 15.5% abv red with comfort stews and BBQ. Enjoy.
