Hailing from California’s sun-drenched vineyards, this Cabernet Sauvignon is bottled at 13.5% ABV and showcases the approachable, fruit-forward style the region is known for. The wine is crafted to be enjoyed now, with ripe varietal expression front and centre.

Nose: Aromas of ripe blackberries and dark cherries lead, followed by notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and a whisper of dark chocolate and coffee.

Palate: Full-bodied and smooth, the palate unfolds with jammy dark fruit, mocha, and hints of caramel and warm spice. Well-rounded tannins provide structure without heaviness, while subtle oak supports the fruit.

Finish: Long and velvety, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and a touch of oak spice.

Pair with grilled steaks, burgers, lamb chops, or hard cheeses for a classic match that lets the wine’s rich fruit shine.

Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled, around 16-18°C, in a standard Bordeaux glass to accentuate the warm fruit character.

A go-to choice for home wine lovers who want reliable quality and bold flavour for everyday dining and relaxed weekend meals.
