TASTING NOTES
The 2008 vintage in the Coonawarra was anything but average. The preceding winter was drier than average, with some frost events which fortunately appeared to have little effect on our vines. Early spring rains and a wetter-than-average spring provided good levels of soil moisture which resulted in excellent bud-burst and strong vine health. Although the rest of summer was dry, it was also cooler than average especially during February. These relatively cool dry Summer conditions were ideal for the gradual accumulation of essential grape sugars and flavours, resulting in good varietal definition for
Cabernet Sauvignon.
