blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the outstanding 2012 Prince of Hearts Paradise Hills Vineyard is soft, plump and juicy with notes of candied caramel, blackcurrants, sweet kirsch, new saddle leather and licorice. This beautiful second wine should drink well for 10-15 years.
Lots of juicy and ripe fruit aromas plus hints of chocolate. Roses and flowers too. Full body and plenty of fruit, yet there's an underlying firmness at the end. Hints of jam.
