Calluna Vineyards - Cuvee "CVC" 2019 (750ml)

"The 2019 Calluna Vineyards Cuvée is meant to be an expression of our Chalk Hill appellation where great sunlight and a cool climate produces intense fruit in a wine with balancing acidity, round tannins and moderate alcohol levels. The blend expresses the power of Cabernet Sauvignon, elegance of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and a bit of showiness from Malbec and Petit Verdot."

"...The wine delivers a beautifully refined aromatic constellation of cassis, black cherries, cigar wrapper, a complex base of soil, a touch of currant leaf and a discreet foundation of new wood. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and quite elegant in profile, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent balance and grip, ripe tannins and a long, complex and very classy finish..."
