Rochford Estate 'la Gauche' Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
RRP: $33.00
This wine is inspired by the traditional blend of Bordeaux’s ‘Left Bank’ where the predominate variety is Cabernet Sauvignon, we celebrate our interpretation of this blend here in the Yarra Valley.
Tasting Notes:
Bright floral aromas of violets, allspice, bay leaf, blackcurrant fruits, chicory, and some savoury nori roll. The palate displays red currant and cherry fruit, soft liquorice, and olive tapenade. The tannins are silky and the wine presents pleasing freshness in this medium bodied style. It should have a long future if cellared.
