Tasting Notes:

The Cabernet Sauvignon Pere de Famille offers a detailed, mineral-filled, full-bodied, fresh and elegant style that does not lack oomph or structure. It has classic notes of cassis, smoked tobacco and graphite, with very well integrated acidity and a great finish. The team commented that the use of the optical sorter really helped with this crop.
