Plum in colour, with a slightly herbal, christmas cake and blackcurrant nose the 2016 Cabernet is silky and refined with perfumed notes of violets and maraschino cherry which are typical to cool climate Cabernet.

2016 was an good vintage in Mt Benson, warmer than the previous vintage which is demonstrated in this Cabernet by its more generous nature. The Cabernet will continue to age gracefully for many years but the approach-ability and elegance of this wine at present cannot be overlooked.

Lovely with a shoulder of lamb and roasted baby vegetables.
