Sobon Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
WHY WE LOVE IT
- This wine is made from original estate blocks which were planted on a cool northern exposure hillside.
- Naturally farmed. Made with sustainably and estate grown fruit.
Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Elaboration: Traditional vinification. Fermented in stainless steel vats. The wine ages for 15 months in Frech and American oak, 30% new.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of cassis, vanilla and cedar that lead to a rich mid-palate impression of ripe currants, sandalwood and subtle herbal notes. Medium to full bodied, ripe and complex, with a long, lingering finish.
