Tasting Profile
This wine showcases the leathery, herbaceous, menthol character of the Cabernet Sauvignon on the front coupled with the meatiness and big, dark fruit from the Syrah on the back. Deep purple-hued with notes of blackberries, rich chocolate and full of chalky minerality, it pairs beautifully with lamb, cauliflower puree and caramelized fennel.
Before Cairjn came into existence, Andy was talking with his business partner Robert about "if we were to make wine together..." and they dreamt up making a Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah blend because it's a blend they both love and symbolic of the two partners and families coming together to create Cairjn.
