The 2020 Perseid Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of crushed black cherries, stewed plums, and blackcurrant jelly jump from the glass, followed by hints of chocolate mint, star anise, and clove oil. The full-bodied palate delivers an impressive amount of juicy black fruits with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity, finishing with a spicy lift.
