Deep garnet-colored with a hint of purple and also 100% barrel-fermented, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon presents a pronounced nose of blackcurrant cordial, chocolate-mint and cloves with underlying cedar and marmite-toast hints. Medium to full-bodied with plenty of juicy, blackcurrant flavor in the mouth, it is supported by medium-level, grainy tannins and lively acidity through the long finish. 578 six-bottle cases were made. Drink it now to 2021+.
