A lovely bright crimson. Bottled earlier than usual and it's certainly the freshest (and best) Finestra cabernet I've tasted. A very pure cassis nose that sits alongside a hint of pencil shavings and crushed violet. It's ripe without being heavy on the palate with discreet, persistent tannins giving the wine both structure and length. Drink now and over the next eight to 10 years.” \u003cstrong\u003e96 points. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Finestra Wines YV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47899474034862,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/1663\/2750\/files\/Cab2021.jpg?v=1720342022","url":"https:\/\/www.finestrawines.com.au\/products\/2024-dalla-mia-finestra-cabernet-sauvignon-copy","provider":"Finestra Wines YV","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
