About This Wine
Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines never lack for complexity and this wine has it in spades. Their fruit aromas are a combination red currants and mulberries backed up with cedar, tobacco, leather and tar. Also, from a vineyard renowned for its masculine, slightly brooding demeanour, this is a slight change, with a generosity and friendliness not often seen in young Ribbon Vales. Palate: This theme continues on the palate, where we see a balance and generosity not often found with this vineyard. The red currant and mulberry flavours are generous and long, filling the mouth. The wine has full body, with concentrated and supple tannins giving the wine a long and well balanced finish. This is a slightly cooler vineyard than Moss Wood and it seems that extra warmth in 2015 has really suited it. With this balance and concentration, it will be a long-lived wine. For those who like their Cabernets with lots of complexity, it will take at least 15 years to develop a reasonable level of bottle bouquet. After that it will be anybody’s guess but 30 years cellaring will be easily achieved for those with the patience.
