Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2011 Pride of the Fleurieu Peninsula Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a nose of freshly crushed black currants and blackberries with nuances of sage, tree bark, cloves and toast. Medium-bodied with a good core of muscular fruit supported by firm grainy tannins and a lively acid line, it finishes with good persistence. Drink it now to 2017.

Coffee and toast notes weave through the dark berry flavors in this generously endowed, ripe but relatively deft style. Lingers well on the finish. Drink now through 2016. 2,300 cases made, 700 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Fleurieu Peninsula Select to Add
