Night Harvest Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L)

Night Harvest Cabernet Sauvignon is a California red blend in a 1.5-litre bottle, built around ripe dark fruit and soft tannins. It is blended from 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petite Sirah, 3% Ruby Cabernet and 1% Merlot. R.H. Phillips, established in 1984 in Dunnigan Hills, Yolo County, traces the wine's roots, while production now takes place at Constellation Brands' Woodbridge facility in Lodi. Oak ageing contributes subtle vanilla and toast character. The nose leads with blackberry and dark cherry, followed by cranberry, cedar and dried tobacco leaf, with baking spice emerging as it opens. The palate is fruit-forward with ripe red cherry and black currant, moving into a medium-bodied mid-palate with subtle vanilla sweetness, dried black cherry, light toast and soft, ripe tannins. The finish is moderate, dry and spicy, with lingering blackberry and light cedar.
