Tasting Notes:
The 2018 Family Selection Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a dark inky purple colour with a reddish hue, setting the stage for the rich complexity to come. The nose is distinctly varietal, with bold dark fruit aromas of blackberry and mulberry that define the wine’s character. On the palate, it is rich, round, and full, with the black fruits accentuated by the seamless integration of French oak. The wine is both complex and balanced, with developing tannins that provide a soft, lingering finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a true expression of depth and structure, making it a superb choice for cellaring, where it will continue to evolve and develop over the next decade.
