February 1, 2011 - The further I get along the path of drinking good California Cabernet - the more nervous I get. As a virtual virgin in this field, I am falling head over heals for the multitude of impeccably tailored, rich and balanced Cabernet I have been lucky enough to taste, many of which cost a bomb here in Singapore. This bottle last night came at the end of a line-up of predominantly Australian Cabernets and was tasted blind. Everything about the wine spoke of top-shelf style and grace.
The nose was considered and rich - full of spice and mature, ripe fruit promise. The palate was gentle but very certain in its approach and delivery. Length was long and I was sad to see it end. I reckon the wine has a plenty of time to go in it`s life and is a joy and privilege to have enjoyed this wine. As a mainly Australian Cabernet drinker to date, I am humbled and delighted to drink a wine of such elegance and quality.
