Smith & Hook Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 (750ml) Ile de Beaute

Smith & Hook Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 (750ml) Ile de BeauteWinemaker Notes Aromas of cherry and plum with hints of violet, leather and saw dust. The palate is full bodied and rich with flavors of ripe blackberry, dark cherry and cassis supported by full tannins and notes of vanilla and toasty spice on a complex, long finish.

The fineness of the grape skin allows a full and rapid extraction of colour and produces soft tannins

and minimal cluster thinning was needed as the vines had already balanced themselves

rounded bouquet of great structure and balance

clean palate brings fruity flavors of green apple

This full-bodied wine shows lush mouthfeel

so you still get a sense of vibrancy but of actually being made by someone

Loaded with rich ripe fruit and spice notes with touches of toasty oak

but the fragrance reminds one of a tisane
