We
hand picked the very best of our Cabernet Sauvignon bunches on April
the 6th 2008 at a Baume of 14.2.
Tony
Pelosi – our Winemaker has produced an exceptional Yarra Valley Cabernet
Sauvignon!
The
wine is a violet ripe plum garnet red in colour, the nose is quite powerful, yet
elegant and complex. Alluring ripe spicy fruit aromas emanate. Think of rich
blackcurrants and mulberries. Persistent distinct deep concentrated and potent
fruit flavours which are also intensely varietal. Hints of capsicum, liquorice,
chocolate and tobacco support the primary fruit characters on the palate. An
extended length of finish exists with cedar and spicy oak characters extracted
from subtle French oak influence.
Smooth,
silky, well integrated fruit tannins result in quite an approachable style of
wine but also one that should cellar and improve for at least 10 - 15 plus
years.
