Wine Description
The Patricia Cabernet is an inky dark purple colour with rich aromas of blackcurrant and dried herbs, while French oak influence offers a gentle 'cigar box lift' to the nose. On the palate the wine has powerful dark berry fruit, spice and hints of nutmeg driven by a warm vintage. It has persistent length and is well structured with ripe flavours and a seamless elegant finish.
The wine has already received 2.5 years of bottle age to soften and integrate its characters and will continue to improve over the next 6-8 years in the cellar.
