Smith & Hooper 2006 Hundred of Joanna

Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (54%), Merlot (36%) and Shiraz (10%)
Region: Limestone Coast, Wrattonbully
Vintage: 2006
Colour: Ruby red with a slight copper meniscus 
Alcohol: 14.0%
Bouquet: Mulberry and red-currant
Flavour: Fabulous dryness is what sticks out from a taste. There is a lingering taste of tobacco. The initial fruit is more toward red-currant and is carried through to the mid-palate. Some lovely cedary tones as well. A lovely drop.
Points: 87 (4+7+12+7+7+50)
Notes: I bought this a couple of years ago for $14 (~270 Kc). Some nice Cabernet blends for the weekend before some Italian wine later this week.
