Cardiff Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 13%)

Cardiff Cabernet Sauvignon is a 100% California Cabernet Sauvignon at 13% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is produced by ASV Wines, which sources fruit from its own vineyard holdings across multiple California appellations. The wine is a varietal bottling rather than a multi-grape blend, keeping the focus on Cabernet Sauvignon's structure and dark-fruit core. ASV Wines also uses contracted grower relationships to adjust the blend's flavour targets from vintage to vintage. The nose shows ripe blackberry and plum, with warm vanilla and allspice and a subtle smokiness. The palate is fruit-forward with juicy blackberry and dark plum, followed by baking spices and soft vanilla. Tannins are moderate, and the finish is medium in length with dark fruit and a light woody undertone.
