d'Arenberg Stump Jump Cabernet Sauvignon, Australia

2021 - On the nose it hits you with ripe black currant, mulberry, plum, black cherry fruits intermixed in dry baking spices, herbs and cocoa. Texture is rich in ripe red and black fruit flavors that are lifted with suede like tannins, spice and violet. The supple tannins frame the wine quite nicely, making a great pairing for seared rare flank steak roulade with a shitake mushroom stuffing, beef tartare or herb crusted lamb pops. --Finn
