Acaibo 2016 75cl

Blackberries and blueberries with violets and other flowers. Hints of stones and dark mushrooms, too. Medium to full body and firm, silky tannins. Creamy texture. Dusty and delicious. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot. From organically grown grapes. Just coming around now.

Made up of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot, the 2016 Trinite Estate Acaibo has a medium to deep ruby-purple color and violet, chocolate box, warm black cherries, cedar and warm blackcurrants on the nose with nuances of beef drippings, cast-iron pan, exotic spices and a classy frame of new oak spice—this is perfumed and minerally without lacking any fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it has a good core of flavor layers, with firm, gently chewy tannins, integrated freshness and a long finish.
