Brand & Sons, "Silent Partner" Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Get to know: Brand & Sons, "Silent Partner" Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Note

Fabulous example of Cabernet Sauvignon from this iconic Australian region. Lifted aromas of blackberry and plum, dried sage, mint and tobacco with overlaid with cedar oak notes. An intense and flavour filled palate of plums, blackberries complemented with sturdy but well balance tannins holding together a long lingering finish. We'd recommend decanting and aerating to really open up the delicious depth of flavour in this wine. It rewards patience.

Enjoy this with a rib-eye steak or roast lamb.
