A very dark red in the glass, the nose provides a balanced blend of blackberry, cedar and bottle aged leather characters.

The palate is a true Cabernet varietal expression with a saturation of dark fruits, drying / earthy tannins and an undercurrent of cassis and mint.

The oak adds richness on the back palate with the finish having mouth drying tannins, expressive blackberry fruit and a touch of leather.
