DESCRIPTION

Varieties:  Cabernet Sauvignon
Region:  Barossa Valley
Eyes: Dense with dark purple hues
Nose: Deep and controlled with fresh, crunchy dark fruit supported by subtler secondary notes of cedar and sandalwood which provide a restrained edge to the wine. Ends with just a faint hint of classic Cabernet perfume to provide a clue at variety.
Mouth: Attractive creamy dark berry compote fruit is supported by a fresh and a focused line of travel through the palate. This dark fruit holds firm, deep and long before just a hint of dusty tannins shows late working around the edges, providing another layer and rounding out the wine.
Winemaking Notes: 2016 saw warm and dry conditions throughout most of growing season, but without any significant periods of severe heat. Yields were low and many red varieties ripened evenly, with great flavor depth and some firm prominent tannins which have softened well during maturation.
