David Finlayson GS Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

2024 National Wine Challenge - Double Platinum
2024 Platter's Wine Guide - 5 Stars
  

The wine displays Cabernet Sauvignon cassis and blackcurrant fruit on the nose as well as having a fresh minty, herbaceousness backed by mocha vanilla. Firm structured tannins and a long finish on the palate show great ageing potential.
