The 2018 Altamura Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and is deep garnet-purple in color. it slowly unfurls to reveal intense scents of blackcurrant cordial, blackberry preserves, and dried lavender, plus suggestions of crushed rocks and black olives. Full-bodied, the palate delivers vibrant, lively black fruit and mineral layers, supported by velvety tannins, finishing long and fragrant. Really different.

Jam City, this guy is loaded with deep dark fruit that has a 45-60 second finish and demands another sip. I enjoyed with New Zeeland lamb chops and it was about as good as it gets.
