Description

Remarkably youthful with dark red hues. This full-bodied wine displays complex layers of Cassis, dark and red fruit on the nose with beautiful perfumy nuances. On the palate, a combination of dark fruit flavors from the Cabernet Sauvignon and fresh vibrant red fruit and soft floral notes from the Cabernet Franc.

Ratings/Accolades:
Gilbert & Gilliard: Double Gold
Our Miko Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc is produced in honor of the late Mr. Miko Rwayitare. Miko Reds are only produced in exceptional vintages, ensuring that the best wine possible is bottled in Miko’s memory. Minimal intervention in the cellar ensures that all Miko wines are the ultimate expression of Mont Rochelle terroir.
