Truly the “King”of red wine grapes and here in the Clare Valley the intense flavours it develops makes it my favourite variety. 2012 was an excellent year for Cabernet. 2012 ripe Cabernet was aged in 100% French Oak for 21 months.
Aroma Rich and intense blackberry, raspberry and black cherry nose with hints of cedar making it very attractive.
Palate A blockbuster Cabernet full of rich berry characters with chocolate and reglisse. Firm tannins from the small berries and fine French oak give a mouth smacking drink. Time in the bottle will only further enhance a wine ready for drinking. Drink with fatty chops from the bbq to rich casseroles of lamb shanks and Osso Bucco. Also beautiful with your favourite cut of steak.
