The 2008 Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon is a product of severe vineyard selection, with 75% of the fruit being left to hang that year as the heat-wave set-in. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5.5% Merlot and 5.5% Cabernet franc, it offers a deep garnet-purple color with aromas of black currant cordial, capsicum, toasted nuts, sauteed herbs and cedar. Ripe, rich, full bodied and with good concentration, it has enlivening acid, firm chewy tannins, finishing long. Drink it now to 2017+. During my visit to Henschke, I was treated to a mini vertical of the Green’s Hill Lenswood Riesling. A single vineyard wine, production is tiny though it can occasionally be seen in export markets and is well worth the hunt. Note that no 2007 Hill of Grace is reviewed here. Due to the tiny production of this vintage (only 8 hogsheads, owing to frost and drought), the release has been delayed and it wasn’t available yet for tasting.Importer: Negociants USA, Napa, CA; tel.
