of the finest grains. Blended with water naturally purified through champagne limestone from the Gente Springs in Cognac, France- Grey
Goose is created under the watchful eye of a master distiller.

W3. Concha & Toro Cabernet Sauvignon & Jeunesse Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Two Cabernet Sauvignon bottles. Concha & Toro Cabernet Sauvignon has a fruity character with red plums and chocolate aromas, a soft
flavour and medium body. Ideal to serve with red meats, cheese, spicy stews and pasta with spicy sauces. Baron Herzog Jeunesse Cabernet
Sauvignon displays a vibrant ruby color, soft texture, and perceived sweetness on the palate, with aromas of fresh berry, cherry and floral
notes. In an effort to produce Cabernet Sauvignon Jeunesse as a wine that exhibits its exceptional characteristics, ripe grapes were cold
fermented in exclusively stainless steel tanks. Hence, this is a wine that is pointedly "jeunesse" - which is French for youthful, flavorful and
fun. Easily enjoyable chilled or at room temperature.
