Wanted to try the Moravian Cabernet after so many years of not having it from quite good vintage and one of the best producers and well simply we do not have the climate for Cabernets I think. It is not bad wine though and for reasonable price, but the wine misses the oak and more structure as it is predominantly fruit driven style.
