Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Region: Coonawarra Harvest: 08 March - 17th April 2015 pH: 3.41 Acidity: 6.5g/L RS: <2.5g/L Alc/vol: 14.0% Oak Maturation: The wine was matured for approximately 16 months in 225 litre oak barrels. 50% were new French oak barriques, with the balance in older French oak. Vintage: Coonawarra's 2015 vintage was amongst the earliest on record. An ideal growing season of slightly above average temperatures and dry conditions produced outstanding red wines that show vibrant fruit flavours and strong varietal characters. Cellaring Potential: Can age gracefully for up to 20 years. Colour: Dark plum with red tinges. Nose: Vibrant dark berry fruits, dark cherry with hints of chocolaty oak notes. Palate: Richly layered dark berry fruit and hints of mulberry. Subtle vanillin oak and lingering, fine grained tannins. Food Matching: Roast duck with braised red cabbage, slow cooked beef cheek or Asian BBQ lamb ribs. Additional Information: This wine is vegetarian and vegan friendly.
Review: James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion 2018 (Australia), August 2017 95 points Fermented in both closed and open fermenters for 5-10 days, matured for 11 months in barriques, 93 percent French (45 percent new), 7 percent American. Excellent crimson purple; a distinguished Coonawarra cabernet with abundant mulberry and cassis fruit that has absorbed the new French oak without a murmur. The tannins are firm (as they should be) and the long-term future of the wine is assured. 95 points. Drink by 2035.
