Here is a teaching example of cassis aromatics in Cabernet – they flood the nose at full speed, and shine brightly from start to finish, with other typical varietal characteristics showing solidly underneath. Supple tannins and spicy oak notes keep the fruit character fresh and lively. Vintage after vintage this wine remains a great value from the appellation. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
