Classic cabernet aromas of red & black berry fruits, sweet mint, freshly rubbed herbs & bay leaf mingle with oak characters of mocha, chocolate & cedar. The palate is medium bodied claret balance with meticulous layering of soft berry fruits, plentiful lithe tannins & fine French oak. The tannins more cradling than restraining impart a velvety mouth feel to the palate. With time both tannins & fruit will further engage & evolve into a stylish & classic Margaret River Cabernet. Food ideas: Barbecued lamb or goat & aged cheddar. Drink it: 12 years plus & best from 2008 to 2020.
