chunky black-fruit aromas are swathed in minty oak and vanilla

Rated 96 by Whisky Advocate

At its best Cabernet can be juicy and explosive and full of ripe black fruits while retaining hints of the inherent savory nature of the grape

The palate is full-bodied with firmly framed tannins and balanced acidity

The mouthfeel is crisp and round
