Tasting Notes
The Gryphon Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to our dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Upon pouring, you'll be greeted by a deep, garnet hue that hints at the wine's richness. The nose reveals an enticing bouquet of dark fruits, including black cherries, red currant, star anise and dried bay leaf, intertwined with subtle notes of cocoa and toasted oak.
On the palate, The Gryphon unfolds with layers of complexity. You'll experience a harmonious blend of black cherry, cassis, and dark chocolate, complemented by well-integrated tannins and a touch of spice.
