Tasting Notes

A hint of mint on the nose, however the hero in this vibrant wine is the fresh berries, with just a touch of oak in the background. Palate has great structure with balanced tannins; the perfect medium bodied Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. Ready to drink now or for enjoying the rewards of cellaring for the next 5-7 years for some secondary fruit characters to shine through. Wine Spectator 93 points.
