Sandhurst Ridge Cab/Sav is a focused, medium- to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with core cassis and blackberry fruit. Integrated oak adds vanilla, mocha, and spice without overpowering the fruit. Firm yet refined tannins, balanced acidity, and a long finish give it aging potential and versatility with hearty fare.
