Dreaming Tree Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 14%)

A North Coast California red wine made by The Dreaming Tree, blending Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot. The fruit is drawn from vineyards across Sonoma County and Mendocino. The Cabernet is blended with Merlot to round out the mid-palate, and the brand uses bottles weighing roughly 50% less than the industry standard with eco-friendly label materials. The nose leads with black cherry and blackberry, followed by toasted caramel, dark chocolate, cedar and tobacco. The palate is fruit-forward with ripe blackberry and plum, then Tahitian vanilla cream, clove, allspice, orange-tinged dark chocolate and coffee, carried by silky tannins. The finish is medium in length with crème fraîche, black currant and toasted oak.
