A barrel sample, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Nathan Coombs Estate is deep purple-black in color and offers up beautifully pure red and black currants notes with black cherries and violets plus a waft of dried herbs and lilacs. Medium to full-bodied with a beautiful grainy texture and wonderful vivacity, the palate delivers exciting floral sparks and many layers on the finish. 525 cases are expected to be bottled.
