CABERNET SAUVIGNON RESERVE, 2016 VQA

This reserve Cabernet Sauvignon spent 22 months in new French barriques. The nose is huge, giving off aromas of red cherry, licorice, leather, cigar box, cocoa, dried earth and eucalyptus. The wine is full-bodied, with a round mouthfeel and plush tannins. It delivers cherry, currant, cigar leaf and vanilla notes. Evolving in the glass, a second taste reveals more nuances…drinking beautifully now, it has the capability of several more years in bottle.

Pairing: any roasted meats or charcuterie. Great on its own.
