Description

Our proud and classic 100% single varietal Cabernet Sauvignon is as rare as our hidden valley, harmonious, confident and seamless. A true representation of our cool region, with roses and violet upfront, followed by ripe black currant, spice and cassis. The wine is rich, full bodied and creamy on the mid-palate with generous velvety smooth tannins and a complex elegant structure. Drink now or hold 10-15 years. Pair with steak, rich pasta dishes, strawberries and dark chocolate.
