2007 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml Central Otago Smells like a rose gardenCrafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, this wine aged for about 30 months in French oak, 55% new. A testament to the 2007 Margaret River vintage, it boasts an opaque dark red black hue. The refined nose offers aromas of violets, blackcurrant, spice, cedar, and a hint of tobacco. Medium to full bodied, it showcases elegance, finesse, and power on the palate. Ripe blackcurrant, spice, and mulberry flavors merge
