Novelty Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 4% Cab Franc, 3% Malbec. Deep, rich, and compelling right from the start, this opens further to well balanced layers of scents and flavors. Black currants, blackberries, cedar boughs, toasted plums - this is outstanding, textural, expansive over the palate - just perfect. Juicy, balanced, tactile and bright right through the finish. ABV 14.4%.
