Tasting Notes

A classic Great Western Cabernet Sauvignon with elegance and structure. Aromas open with layers of red fruit, mulberry, blackberry, and blackcurrant, alongside subtle leafy spice. The palate shows dark cherry, cassis, and hints of confection and cinnamon spice, supported by supple, integrated tannins and a medium-bodied structure. Graphite and herbal notes add complexity, leading to a smooth, balanced finish. Approachable in its youth but capable of gaining additional depth and character with time in the cellar.
