Wine Review: This midnight purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Spottswoode opens with black raspberry and sandalwood bouquet with hints of iris and blueberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is awesome. It is nicely balanced, smooth, delicate, and silky. The flavor profile is mild black cherry and oak blend with notes of light graphite and boysenberry. We also detected hints of light tea and blackberry. The finish is dry, and its refined tannins build-up and linger for quite some time. We would decant this Cab for a little bit before pairing it with Kansas City strip steak. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Opulent floral top notes carry you into an opaque purple core, imparting aromas of black currants, dark red cherry coulis, cigar box, and allspice berries. Powerful yet soft tannins are balanced with a delightful freshness of acidity. The palate is silky with nuanced flavors of cassis, ripe blackberry, and Morello cherry. The long finish invites you to discover the wine's evolving layers.
