Wakefield Estate
Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
| Region: | Clare Valley |
Rich expressive flavours of cassis, mulberry and a hint of eucalypt. French oak maturation adds touches of dark chocolate, cedar and spice.
Deep red with a purple hue.
Wine Bouquet
The wine has fresh and lifted varietal aromas of cassis, red currant fruit and mint. Subtle hints of cedar and tobacco add to the complexity of the aroma which is something like a brandy soaked Christmas pudding.
Wine Palate
This is a wine with rich, ample flavours of ripe cassis, berry fruit and licorice. Maturation in French oak barrels is evident with subtle flavours of cedar and tobacco adding complexity to a wine that is rich and
mouth filling with great length.
Cellaring Notes
Immediately approachable but will benefit from careful cellaring up to 2015.
