Terranoble Azara Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine Description
A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Carmenere, aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. A very complex wine; a perfect marriage of fruit and oak. On the nose, red berries, black berries, smoke and toasted aromas come through. Juicy on the palate, with cherry and chocolate notes in combination with toasted oak. This wine is well structured and full-bodied with smooth tannins and a long finish.
