2005 Cabernet Sauvignon

VINTAGE
This was a very good vintage with warm dry conditions throughout March and April providing very favourable fruit flavours with excellent natural acid & balance

WINEMAKING
Favourable conditions allowed us to harvest the Cabernet Sauvignon in early April. A long ferment with up to 14 days on skins has resulted in a true Coonawarra classic Cabernet Sauvignon

COLOUR
Very dark red with deep purple hue

BOUQUET
Concentrated cassis with blackberry and currant aromas with a hint of oak that adds great complexity

PALATE
This full bodied Coonawarra Cabernet has excellent balance from French and American oak with intense cassis flavours and hints of liquorice, chocolate and tannins to bring a beautiful silky soft finish.

SUGGESTED FOOD
Enjoy with a Premium Steak

CELLARING
Drinking now to 2010
