Description
Cabernario has a deep purple colour with attractive notes of blackberry and blackcurrant. Nuances of leather and oak combine with a concentrated mouthfeel with soft round tannins given by its ageing of 10 months in oak barrels. A rich, med-full bodied beauty of a Cab Sav, lots of wine for your money here but please let it breathe for a while first or serve from a decanter. 14%
Pair this bold Cabernet with rich, hearty dishes like grilled rib-eye, braised short ribs, or roasted lamb, where the fat and umami balance its firm tannins and dark fruit. If you prefer something simpler, aged cheddar or dark chocolate also make excellent companions.
