About the wine
Smooth, robust, velvety Cab that's oh-so-luxurious
- Classic Cabernet that swings in with a wallop of berries, juicy dark plums, ripe cherries and toasty, tummy-warming spices.
- With solid rainfall following years of drought, these California vines developed full, lush grapes bursting with flavor – making David's latest Cab the richest, most sumptuous yet.
- This Cabernet just screams for a sizzling slab of beef - you can turn a simple piece of meat into a carnivore's fine dining dream.
Best before
I feel it will improve and develop well for the next 5 years.
Serving advice
As a Cabernet, decanting brings out the best the wine can offer.
Food match
A charcuterie plate of aged cheese, a bit of pate and fresh-baked, crusty baguette.
Contains sulphites
