Made from the best block of vines on the Cumulus Estate the Block 50 Cab Sav is a complex blend of dark berry fruit, bitter chocolate, coffee and mint on the nose with a matching palate. Perfectly integrated oak and fine tannins give superb length and an excellent finish. The result is immensely drinkable and at this price easy to justify opening a second bottle (which you will!) once you’ve sampled the first.
The vines on Block 50n are some of the oldest on the estate, these mature plantings helping to establish Orange’s reputation as a world class wine producing region. Using sustainable viticulture practices in the vineyard have allowed these vines to thrive naturally producing incredible fruit with excellent depth and character, the hallmark of wines from this area.
