WINE DESCRIPTION

Black Opal Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine produced by South Australian-based winery Wolf Blass. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes used to make this wine are sourced from vineyards across the southern Australian states of South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales where the warm climate with amble sunshine creates ideal growing conditions for fully ripe fruit. The wine is crafted using modern winemaking techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit flavors and the use of oak, resulting in a bold flavor profile. The wine is characterized by its deep ruby color, aromas of blackberry and cassis, and flavors of chocolate, and spice. It is a full-bodied wine with a supple and velvety texture, making it a perfect pairing for grilled meats and hearty dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Black Opal Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied wine with jammy dark fruit aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant.On the palate, the wine is velvety with ripe tannins. There is also a subtle smoky oak note on the short finish. The ripe tannins provide a pleasant structure and a firm, yet graceful finish. Overall, this is an enjoyable, fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon well suited to everyday drinking with food and friends. Drink within 4 years.
