Color, Nose & Palate
- Arra Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 has an intriguing combination of dark fruit, sweet plum and layers of flavor
underpinned by earthy notes. The wine shows good length on the mid palate with tannins and oak
perfectly integrated with the structure, giving this wine a lavish mouth-feel that results with a lingering finish.
