CMS is an abbreviation of Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah - the blend of this wine since its inception in 1987. A savoury, blueberry and black fruit character amd nicely weighted tannins make for a well balanced, cool style that finishes on a dried herb note. Aged in roughly 60% French oak and 40% American oak.
