California Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot

| Large and robust, this style is the one that lovers of big wines are looking for. Made famous in Italy’s Piedmont region – highly regarded for its finest wines – this Nebbiolo is rich in flavour and deep in colour, with a rounded oak aroma that lingers on the finish. Not surprisingly, Nebbiolo is a consistently popular offering year in and year out.

| The intense fruitiness of this beguiling wine suggests rich sweetness, but it shows a surprisingly dry and aromatic finish. A delicate yellow colour, tinged with the variety’s typical ‘green-gold’ hue, it bursts out of the glass with apricot, peach and spice aromas. As it matures, it can also display hints of jasmine, honeysuckle, kiwi, mint, orange blossom and even mango! While higher in alcohol than many white wines, it drinks well young nonetheless. Lower acidity makes it friendly to a wide range of foods, but it’s ‘soft but strong’ character makes it excellent for sipping alone.
Sweetness: DRY | Body: MEDIUM | Oak Intensity: NONE
