Cairjn Red Blend No.4 2023

Winery Notes:  

The bouquet opens with blackcurrant, wild blackberry, and cassis, entwined with espresso bean, tobacco leaf, and violet petal—the Syrah lending spice and perfume to Cabernet’s classic depth. On the palate, the plush, structured fruit frames a core of ripe dark fruit, graphite, and hints of clove and allspice, supported by velvety tannins and a seamless interplay of oak influence. Cabernet brings noble structure and cassis-driven focus, while Syrah contributes savoury complexity, black pepper lift, and plush mid-palate weight. The generous new oak adds layers of vanilla, toast, and baking spice without overwhelming the vibrant fruit, creating a wine of remarkable balance and poise
