Heartland 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon




General: Cool days and nights call for a Cab Sav...

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Region/G.I.: Most of the fruit is from the Fleurieu, Langhorne Creek region

Alcohol: 14.5%

Bouquet: Blackcurrant and other dark berries

Flavour: Although relatively young, the fruit was not overdone and gentle. After the wine opened up, there was a lovely black pepper finish as well. My only criticism of the wine was that I thought it was a little short in length

Points: 83

Notes: $16.79 (circa 300 Kc) sale price. Reasonable value but there's plenty in the market to choose from.
