Deep red with brick red hue.
Wine Bouquet
The wine has bold lifted varietal aromas of cassis, ripe black cherry and aniseed. French oak maturation is evident with subtle characters of cedar, nutmeg, cinnamon and cigar box adding to the wines allure.
Wine Palate
The wine has a long and generous palate with fleshy, concentrated, sweet varietal flavours. The palate delivers the elegance and interest, displaying classic Cabernet Sauvignon varietal structure; a mouth filling front palate and long, elegant tannins to finish. The wine has black cherry and cassis fruit characters throughout and French oak nuances of cedar and tobacco are well integrated with a savoury edge running throughout the palate. The finish is long and persistent.
Cellaring Notes
This wine has been sealed with a screw cap to protect the wine quality. It is delicious upon release but will reward careful cellaring to 2016, possibly longer.

Tasting Notes Cabernets
Big, bold and brassy statement of Clare Valley cabernet sauvignon. Plenty of blackcurrant, dark cherry and cedar on the nose with a palate that is full, deep and immensely robust. Tannins are ripe and add neatly to the quite supple fruit. A wine for the cellar.The Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting

St Andrews reds are often oaky, but this one strikes a good balance, it has beef-stock and roast-meat developed characters plus chocolate and Violet Crumble nuances. The palate is fleshy, fruit-sweet and rich, with softness and harmony.
