A bright, juicy and flavourful and full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon made in the traditional Italian Appassimento method of drying grapes before fermentation to add more heft, body, colour, weight and alcohol to the finished wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: rib eye steak, sirloin tip roast, long ribs on the barbie.

Reviews and Ratings

Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Nose offers blackcurrant, dried cherry, kirsch, fig, vanilla, tobacco, and oak notes. Big and broad palate with intense and tight tannins, good acidity, and a generous body of 14.2% ABV. Ripe cherry, baking spices, dried currant, and subtle oak flavours persist through the long finish. 18 months in a combination of French and American oak. Decant and serve with grilled lamb, braised beef, veal, venison, zesty red sauces, or dark chocolate now, or allow to evolve and develop through 2025 with careful cellaring.

From the Niagara Peninsula wine region, The Foreign Affair 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is a big, hefty appassimento-style red with intense black plum, dried fruit, minty, earthy fresh mushroom, cigar box and vanilla flavours on the palate. Tannins are firm, structured. A good cellaring candidate for two years or more. - Community Wine Reviews
