2008 CABERNET SAUVIGNON Tony Love - The Advertiser April 7 2010 Value: Terrific Verdict: Great with a cheese board Bronze Class 8, Cairns Show Wine Awards, 2010 90 points Australian Wine Showcase Magazine, 2010   JAMES HALLIDAY 2011 AUSTRALIAN WINE COMPANION Bright crimson-purple; a very attractive medium-bodied, single-vineyard cabernet; ripe blackcurrant fruit is augmented by balanced French oak from 18 months in barrel. 92 points (Highly Recommended)            Drink: now to 2017 Harvested during the record March heatwave, our single vineyard Cabernet avoided any over ripe characters and showcases the typical regional Cabernet flavours. Dense purple in colour, the nose exhibits aromas of violets, chocolate and mulberry fruit. The palate is mouth filling and dominated by concentrated sweet fruit which is well balanced by the natural grape and the oak tannins. We matured the wine in predominantly French oak for 18 months to enhance these tannins and to support the fleshy fruit, which lingers on the after palate. Given time, this wine will mature gracefully for up to eight years as the tannins soften and develop in harmony with the fruit characters. Decant before serving. Download Tasting Notes
