Reserve Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Tokara

The Tokara Reserve Collection Cabernet Sauvignon’s nose leads with dark berry fruits, five spice and cedar wood. There is a brightness and vibrancy underlying all these aromas with hints of fresh herbs and red currant notes. The palate is rich and brooding with flavours which mirror the aromas. The mid-palate is weighty yet it leads to a textured finish with lingering grainy tannins.

Ageing potential: This wine drinks well now but will benefit from ageing until 2026.

Food pairing: Hearty red meat dishes or Parmigiana Melanzane.
