Cabernet

Mount Barker, Western Australia. Deep and vibrant red colour with a distinctly cabernet nose, showing cassis fruit, tobacco leaf and cigar box characters, backed by cedary French oak and subtle savoury notes. A very structured and elegant wine which shows true cabernet characteristics. The cassis fruits come through on the front palate and the generosity continues the length of the wine. The mid palate shows chocolate and cigar..

A medium bodied palate that shows links to the 'Old World' in profile. Fruit richness, with soft but firm approachable tannins...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Deep crimson with purple hues. The wine exudes the evocative aromas of roasting coffee beans, freshly picked mint, luscious blackcurrant and dried tobacco leaves. Unmistakably Cabernet, this wine displays the classic flavours of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, intense dark Swiss chocolate, peppery mint and menthol on the palate. Chewy tannins create a brilliantly structured palate; robust in the mid-palate to complement the array of intense flavours, yet soft enough to deliver a finish of great length and finesse...
