{"product_id":"mcpherson-family-jocks-cabernet-sauvignon","title":"McPherson Family Jock's Cabernet Sauvignon","description":"\u003cp\u003eJock’s Cabernet is much like the man – smooth, no nonsense, elegant and will fit in at any occasion. It exhibits a rich, ripe berry and mint bouquet and displays a full flavoured, fleshy, fruit laden palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother season by the joys and challenges that Mother Nature continually throws our way! 2018 is a very good year for quality, the season was warm and dry and we were kept on our toes as once we started picking everything ripened up pretty quickly. Intense flavours came in late this year and we held off picking to allow maximum flavour. The whites are all fruit forward, with lovely fresh acidity whilst the reds have excellent colour and flavour to match. This vintage is a beauty and subsequently we have made some cracking wines in 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for this Cabernet were picked and crushed during the cool of night, thus ensuring the retention of varietal character, while modern winemaking techniques were employed throughout, all of which help to create the signature McPherson Cabernet style. Fermentation took place in sweeping arm red fermenters, giving the wine a denser, richer colour and allowing for gentle flavour extraction. Softer tannins are also a result of this process, while careful attention was paid to the oak selection for the Cabernet. This wine was aged on French oak for approximately 8 months, giving the wine a noticeable, but not an excessive, oak influence. The inclusion of some central Victorian fruit into the blend has boosted both the colour and the intensity of flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing: Try this wine with a hearty barbequed steak, or a rich, spicy tomato based pasta dish such as Spaghetti Bolognaise or Lasagne.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McPherson Family","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45769074081901,"sku":"HOFWNWPRDA59","price":14.04,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 Bottle Case","offer_id":45769262727277,"sku":"HOFWNWPRDA59-12","price":160.06,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/15571-1.jpg?v=1788442311","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/mcpherson-family-jocks-cabernet-sauvignon","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
