The 2010 Aphrodite Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple in color. This elegant wine displays aromas of crème de cassis, mulberries, dried plums, and subtle notes of allspice, pepper, and lavender. Full-bodied and seductive, the palate is layered with bright red and black fruits, balanced by fine tannins, gentle acidity, and a long, polished finish.

Deep, almost impenetrable black in the glass. Aromatic aromas immediately spring from the glass such as; plum, lavender, mineral, earth cedar and grilled meats all enveloped around classic cabernet sauvignon complexity and purity.
