Winemaker’s Notes:
This late ripening variety benefited from the long cool summer, which enhanced optimum varietal character. The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon displays a bouquet of black briary fruit, cherry, spicy plum with hints of cigar box and violets, with the palate delivering ripe blackcurrant, morello cherry, red capsicum and chocolate notes complemented by hints of mint and cedar. A rich firmly structured wine with fruit, oak and tannins in harmony.
