Neagles Rock: Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Neagles Rock Vineyards make a range of full-bodied, fruity reds from classic French grape varieties. The Cabernet Sauvignon has a terrific bouquet of ripe blackcurrants with subtle minty undertones and a wealth of ripe berry flavours offset by some deft oaky undertones.
