The Adelaida Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, full-bodied wine. Bursting with dark fruit flavours, subtle notes of vanilla and tobacco and a hint of leather. Perfect for a night in!

This Adelaida Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon is absolutely delightful! The blackberry and plum notes are pronounced, with a hint of dark fruit. The oak adds a nice touch and the chocolate aftertaste is just divine.

This bottling delivers the ripe power that so many want in a package that’s balanced by savory elements. Dense aroma of tar, char, asphalt, cassis and cocoa show on the nose. The palate is rich and creamy, loaded with coffee bean, coconut husk and baked fruit flavors.
