Cocktail Shaker Set – Matt Black

Tasting Notes

This is an exceptional Cabernet made only in the best years of the best fruit! It is a deep purple, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, its wonderful aromas of jammy black fruits, roasted coffee and so elegant texture, velvety and warm. Ripe on the nose but fresh on the palate with plum and cherry jam flavors. The aftertaste is expansive. Terrific harmony and balance.
