2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
Regular price $100.00 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 131): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Our Recommendations:
Vineyard: Redwind - McLaren Vale
Age: 17 years
Body: Full
Colour: Red/brown brick
Nose: Aromatic, toffee, toasty oak
Palate: Dried thyme, char-grilled jalapeno, red berry and blackcurrant fruits
Notes: Very fresh for an older wine, savoury, soft tannins, great length once it opens up, needs some time to air. The cooler, wetter season in winter allowed characteristics of red fruits to develop and the warm to hot summer period helped in ripening the fruit well. A great wine from a cooler vintage.

From the winemaker:
Vineyard: Block 9 Redwind - McLaren Vale
Age: 10 years
Body: Medium - Full
Colour: Ruby
Nose: Subtle with fresh cranberry
Palate: Savory spice with red fruit characteristics and soft tannin
Notes: Single site wine with minimal new oak influence. Instead we used 4 year old French oak barrels. Bottled separately to highlight the impact of site on the flavour of McLaren Vale Shiraz. A cooler, wetter vintage along with minimal wine making influences gave us red fruit flavours and a lighter than usual Shiraz. Refined and elegant. Drinking well now.

Vineyard: Redwind - McLaren Vale
Age: 22 years
Body: Full
Colour: Tawny with a red hue
Nose: Developed nose with full bodied fruit and plum jam characteristics
Palate: Dark chocolate, Blackberries, sweet balsamic reduction
Notes: During an exceptionally hot season, these vines experienced heat stress, contributing to the emergence of intense fruit flavors in the wine. The aging process has enhanced its complexity but also allowed for the tannins to smooth themselves out, providing a silky finish. This gracefully aged wine retains a bright personality and is ready to be enjoyed. Decant this wine if you can so it can open up and offer its full flavours.

Notes: One of the hottest seasons on record and thus the vines were under a bit of heat stress.

The wine has aged gracefully and still has a lot of character, sometimes jumping out of the glass at you. Give it 30 mins after opening to enjoy it to its full.
