This is a Vintages Essentials product, always available in select stores. Rich, dark and delectable, this is quintessential quality California Cab. There are aromas and flavours of cassis, dark chocolate, mint and black currant galore. It’s full bodied, generously textured sporting a lengthy complex finish of Bing cherry, cassis, spice and firm dusty tannin. Drink now after a two-hour decant or be rewarded for careful cellaring 2014 to 2020. (Vic Harradine)
