Tasting notes : The Crusher Cabernet Sauvignon
The Crusher Cabernet Sauvignon is sprinkled with aromatics of blackberry, tree-ripened fig, toasted cedar and hints of mocha. A truly expressive wine, also showing hints of violet, rosemary and coconut. Bold, dark cherry and blackberry compote laced with rich, dark chocolate covered coffee bean. Soft and mouth-coating tannins finishing with nuances of dark caramel and graham cracker from oak aging.
