Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Patriarch delivers intense spicy scents of black pepper, star anise, cloves and cinnamon stick over core of blackcurrant cordial, warm plums and mulberries plus hints of Black Forest cake, lilacs and fallen leaves. Full bodied with bags of poise and finesse, the palate features red and black fruit layers and very fine-grained tannins, finishing perfumed and polished.
