Markstone Californian Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

We've been offered a hell of a deal on a Californian Cabernet Sauvignon. We've snapped it up and we're passing the savings on to you! The only thing we can tell you about it is it's an on-premise brand in the US not normally found on these shores and it's made by the producer of our biggest selling Californian wine.
As you know we love giving a clue or two! It might rhyme with 'may leak' or 'play seek'. Maybe this will help...a potter's material found in a narrow, sheltered waterway.
You should be able to guess from that, but if not, just read below how good this Cabernet is!
"Sweetly ripe and complex, showing dark plum, spiced cherry, cured meat and roasted hazelnut characters on the nose. The palate displays plump mouthfeel combined with supple texture and silky tannins, making it soothing and velvety with a lingering tasty finish. At its best: now to 2028"
- Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"A dense and delicious Cabernet Sauvignon loaded with flavors of black cherry, ripe plum and spice. Pairs with braised short ribs, aged cheeses like Gouda and cheddar, dark chocolate."
