Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon rocks up with ready-for-biz notes of baked black plums, crème de cassis and fruit cake, plus hints of red roses, stewed tea, dusty soil and chocolate box with the faintest waft of star anise. Medium to full-bodied, the palate features loads of juicy black fruit preserves flavors and a chewy frame, finishing with a refreshing lift and loads of earthy sparks.
