Nine Suns Cabernet Sauvignon Sunbird 2017
This ultra-silky smooth Cabernet Sauvignon blend is an exceedingly satisfying experience! Full-bodied, with velvety tannins, this majestic new release features deftly integrated notes of cassis, blackberry, mocha and espresso complimented by creamy vanilla oak on the prodigious finish. Overall, this captivating Sun Bird Cabernet blend is one of the most enticing new Cabernets under $100 we’ve sampled. We recommend decanting (prior to 2022) as it merits a 97 point rating today and will ascend to 97+ in the next 3-5 years.
