Blackstone Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 13.5%)

A fruit-forward California Cabernet Sauvignon from Blackstone Wine Company, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Fruit is sourced from over a hundred vineyards across California, with long-term grower contracts supporting vintage-to-vintage consistency, and the wine is aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels. The nose shows black cherry and ripe plum, with vanilla, warm toast, subtle coconut and jam-like dark fruit. The palate is fruit-forward with concentrated blackberry and dark cherry, then caramel, cedar and black currant alongside gentle rounded tannins, finishing medium in length with mocha, baking spice and a whisper of tobacco.
