- Tasting note
- Sexy Beast Cabernet Sauvignon is concentrated purple with a red hue in the glass. Showcasing aromas of clove, Asian spice, lavender, cola, roasted meats and black current. A nice wave of fruits enter your palate, this springs forth in layers and slowly caress the palate with moderately weighted dark fruits. The nerve and trapped energy presented, on the late palate the fruits turns to have a stony edge and minerality which dries out the late palate. This is very easy to like Cabernet, and it show you the wonders of this varietal when it all comes together.

- Vinification
- The parcels of grapes making up this wine were crushed into and fermented in open top vessels, with pump overs (three daily over peak fermentation) to extract color, flavor and tannins. The batches were then drained and pressed to tank and then racked to barrel for oak maturation.
