Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot
SRP CA$332.00
Description
Deeply coloured with violet and blue tinges, the Mystae expresses a Cabernet dominant aromatic profile underpinned by black fruits and subtle baked bread notes. After a vigorous swirl there are hints of chocolate and a first taste broadly coats the palate showing excellent tannic structure. Further tasting reveals cranberries, pink peppercorns and a rich earthy quality that shows this particular Mystae owes its blending inspiration to the Haut-Médoc. Even though this wine is not overtly fruit forward, it has an inviting sweetness and provides a remarkably long finish.
