Elderton's 1996 CSM Proprietary Red (a 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Shiraz, and 10% Merlot blend) is a glorious, fruit-driven wine with lavish quantities of smoky new oak, dense, thick, juicy, chocolate, blackberry and cherry fruit flavors, low acidity, and a fat, ostentatious, showy mid-section and finish. This sumptuous, explosively fruity/oaky wine is not subtle, but it does offer thrilling hedonistic levels of fruit. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.Imported by The Australian Premium Wine Collection, John Larchet, USA Wine West, LLC, San Rafael, CA; phone: (800)-485-5753 and Chicago Brands, Chicago, IL; tel.
