Coonawarra’s 2014 vintage was one of the latest on record, with a cool, dry ripening season. These optimal conditions delivered rich, full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with intense colour, generous fruit concentration, lingering tannins and excellent regional expression.
A richly layered palate of dark berry fruits with well integrated oak maturation flavours of cedar, dark chocolate and spice. A long, lingering finish with soft, fine grained tannins.
Matured for 17 months in 45% French (9% new), 30% used American oak and 25% in tank. Good hue, although not particularly deep; an attractive medium-bodied cabernet with cassis and mulberry fruit to the fore, tannins and oak playing a pure support role. Well made.
