Lot 686 is a red fruit-driven Cabernet for fans of oak spice, one where the wood tones come right up to the cherry and raspberry fruit without taking over the proceedings. This cries out for food — a juicy rib-eye slab will work perfectly. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
