The Evans vineyard is in the heart of Coonawarra, where the region's famous warm Terra Rossa soils are derived from limestone parent material, reflecting the maritime presence of the region's geological past.
TASTING NOTES
BLEND - The 2008 Coonawarra is once again a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) and Merlot (31%), with Shiraz (9%) making up the balance. NOSE - A very complex wine with blackcurrant and plum alongside cedar, spice, classic leafy hints and graphite.
PALATE - Typically elegant Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot in style, the Shiraz adds a lovely sweet supple middle, important in a wine so young. Deep intense colour with soft, sandy abundant tannins, the 2008 Petaluma Coonawarra is a big brooding dry red and ranks amongst the best vintages in Coonawarra.
