Long Flat Destinations. 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon


General: Another from the Long Flat Destinations series. This was a pleasant surprise.

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Region/GI: Limestone Coast
Subregion: Coonawarra

Alcohol: 14.5%

Bouquet: Generous blackcurrant and a hint of vanilla

Flavour: This is a straightforward, textbook Cab. Balanced, medium bodied and mild tannins that hold it together. Very good drinking now.

Points: 83

Notes: At $12.00 (circa 200 Kc) this is well priced and very tasty. First, though, I have to try the large choice of Cabs on the market.
