This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was grown from four of our best blocks of the Hirondelle Estate Vineyard. The wine has deep blackcurrant aromas with a hint of clove. Displaying flavors of blueberry, toast, espresso and fresh cream, there is a long, velvety finish. Pairs well with stilton, dates, jambon, and lamb ragu.

Wine Profile
Production Notes
Beginning two to three weeks early, the 2016 growing season progressed perfectly throughout the ripening process. Cooling patterns throughout the season lengthened harvest, allowing the fruit to reach optimal ripeness with the last blocks arriving at the winery in mid-October.
