WINEMAKER'S TASTING NOTES:

Dark purple and red in colour with aromas of cherries, currants and cocoa that exhibit classic typicity in the cabernet spectrum. On the palate this wine has an intensity and structure beyond Destinae releases in prior vintages yet maintains the elegance that is the hallmark of this blend. The particularly ripe Malbec combines with Petit Verdot to yield notes of plum and tobacco. As a whole, this is an expressive wine with remarkable weight and structure which will cellar for many many years.

 

ENJOY FROM: 4-10+ years from vintage
