| NO. 39 INDIVIDUAL SELECTION CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2013 Langhorne Creek, South Australia |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
JOHN'S BLEND |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, spicy, ripe baked plum-cherry nose with some herbal, very faintly soapy, cedar-sandalwood notes. Fairly dry, medium-full bodied, fairly dense, well structured, still youthful, red and black cherry flavours with a lingering, cedary, high acid finish. Quite grippy - needs time. Has 14.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L6161 on the lower part of the glass bottle. The recommended 2012 (***) was released on May 28, 2016 at $39.95. |

| The number in this wine's name indicates that this is the 39th time this Cabernet has been produced since the introduction of the John's Blend line, which was named for founder John Glaetzer. This wine is consistently powerful, rich and intense, with dark fruit, chocolate, eucalyptus and mint notes. Pour it with mutton chops in a cocoa-and-coffee rub. |
