Margaret River
TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Garnet colour. A lifted and brambly bouquet; cassis, eucalyptus, graphite. Mouth filling red and black fruit notes with a jube-like quench of blackcurrant, pomegranate, cherry plum, with hints of graphite, samphire plus cedar oak nuances. There is an elegance here to all components. Maturation in French oak for 18 months (40% new) smooths the edges of the palate and adds a little weight; it tapers with fine dry tannin, balanced with natural acidity, so the delicate details of this cabernet shine through.
Food Match
Pair with olive-crusted lamb and adzuki bean puree.
Recommended Cellaring
Drink now or cellar for 7 to 10 years.
