| TASTING NOTE: Blackcurrant, blackberry, cassis, spearmint and a savoury herbal note dominate on the nose of this Clare Valley red, with modest lacquer/vanilla notes hinting at oak. On the dry but fruit-forward, full-bodied palate the fruit is dark and chewy, highlighting blackberry, raspberry and plum notes while supported by anise, mint and secondary woody notes. Overall this is a sophisticated, silky Cabernet Sauvignon that brings mild tannins and a smooth, pleasant finish and that's drinking beautifully now. Score - 4.5 Stars (out of 5) (Ben MacPhee-Sigurdson, Winnipeg Free Press, Feb. 28, 2017) |
