We've hit the jackpot! From a Coonawarra favourite, this 2010 Cabernet is supple, medium bodied wine with elegant aromas of red berries, violets and hints of mint. A quintessential Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, it is well proportioned with generous fruit and a persistent finish. An easy partner to a wide range of foods including pasta, red meats, quail and dishes with spicy or smokey flavours.
Coonawarra is a cool wine region, with similar climatic conditions to Bordeaux, France. Both areas experience long but cool hours of sunshine during grape ripening - encouraging intense flavours balanced by good, natural acid.
"A respected name from SA’s Coonawarra, our top cabernet district. A rich, fruit-driven style with a whisper of oak." - Ian MacTavish, Better Homes & Gardens.
"Coonawarra cabernet is the thinking persons choice of red wine; rich without being too jammy; structured without being too lean. This is a fruit-driven wine with a palate dominated by dark wild berry characters and hints of blackcurrant with a few minty notes. There is the merest hint of oak influence, sensible alcohol levels at 13.5 per cent and an appealing softness. With nice tannin structure, this has easygoing appeal and would be great with a steak." - Winsor Dobbin Sunday Examiner
