Deep ruby in colour with aromas of blackberries, pomegranate, tobacco leaf and dark chocolate. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and silky with layers of mixed berries, vanilla, savoury spice and toasty oak. The texture is firm yet buttery, leading to a long, complex finish with excellent balance. A superb example of a Napa Valley Cabernet-led blend with richness, finesse and real ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibeye steak with garlic butter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-braised short ribs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature cheddar or aged Gouda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Absolutely stunning.
