An almost spicy nose, distinct oak present.
Plenty of grip on the tongue , tight, oaky, medium bodied and dry.
Slightly acidic
A different taste than I was expecting but it may not appeal to some
The wine is sound and well made and will live on for at least 5 years. (2733 views) | | | Tasted by Alexander Smith on 2/16/2019 & rated 90 points: From the red soils of Coonawarra, this Cabernet is full of plush black fruits, cacao, mint, eucalyptus, green pepper, cedar and black pepper, tannins are very present at this stage, heavy on the oak shows this needs time in the cellar for the oak to properly integrate into the wine. Leave for another 5-10 years (2209 views) |
| St Hugo Producer WebsiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonAustralia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)South Australia South Australian Wine Industry Association | South Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Limestone Coast Limestone CoastCoonawarra Coonawarra |
