AVIARY CABERNET SAUVIGNON ( 13.9% abv)

Aviary Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, bold red wine, typically showcasing the depth and power of Cabernet Sauvignon with layers of complexity. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from its tasting notes:

Appearance:

• Color: Deep, dark ruby to garnet red. It often has an intense, almost opaque color, which is typical for Cabernet Sauvignon.

Nose:

• Aroma: Expect a rich, aromatic profile with dark fruit aromas like black currant, blackberry, and plum. There may also be some notes of black cherry and possibly a hint of blueberry.

• Additional Notes: Alongside the dark fruit, you might catch nuances of oak (if aged in barrels), such as vanilla, toast, or cedar. You could also find spices like black pepper, tobacco, or even hints of leather. Sometimes, subtle herbal notes like eucalyptus or mint can appear, especially in Cabernet Sauvignon from cooler climates.

Palate:

• Taste: The palate usually echoes the dark fruit aromas, with blackberry, cassis (black currant), and sometimes a touch of ripe plum taking center stage. You may notice a certain richness or sweetness in the fruit, balanced by a backbone of structured tannins.

• Acidity: Medium to high acidity, which keeps the wine fresh and adds to its aging potential. The acidity balances the richness of the fruit and tannins, creating harmony.

• Tannins: Full-bodied with bold, firm tannins that give the wine a nice structure. The tannins are often smooth but can leave a slight dryness in the mouth. This makes it a great wine to pair with hearty dishes.

• Oak Influence: If the wine has been aged in oak, you may also experience layers of oak-derived flavors like vanilla, toasted wood, or mocha. These notes add complexity and integrate with the fruit, giving the wine a more rounded feel.

Finish:

• The finish is long and persistent, with lingering dark fruit and sometimes a touch of spice or smoky oak. The tannins remain well-integrated, providing a satisfying, structured finish.
