RAWSON’S RETREAT CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Rawson’s Retreat Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep red hues, spiced flavours and raspberries on the nose. Good fruit weight with cherries and oak flavours with a rich mid palate and a smooth tannin finish. Typical cabernet characteristics of mint and blackcurrant alongside the firm but fine tannin structure for which the variety is renowned. Well-matched to grilled and braised meats or pasta dishes.
