About Cabernet Sauvignon :

The particularly thick skin of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape results in wines that can be high in tannin which provides both structure and ageability. This varietal, while frequently aromatic and with an attractive finish, also tends to lack mid-palate richness and so is often blended with lower tannin, but "fleshy" tasting grapes.

The aromas are reflected on the palate with additional suggestions of violet, which echo on the finish. JKW13/02/08
