Region/G.I.: Fleurieu, Langhorne Creek
Vintage: 2008
Colour: Ruby red with slight orange meniscus
Alcohol: 14.9%
Bouquet: Slightly meaty with stewed plums and savoury aromas
Flavour: Complex flavours and very mellow. Dry herbs like oregano evenly throughout which end with drying tannins. The fruit which is more plummy than blackcurrant is present but not primary in the flavour profile. This is also something like a cooked meaty flavour as well.
Points: 88 (3+8+12+8+7+50)
Notes: ~$38.00 ~760 Kc. This was the clear winner of our Cab tasting and was given as a present to me a couple of years ago. It was surprising as the Coonawarra or Margaret River are meant to be the best regions for Cab in Australia.
