It has a wonderful dark rich colour with a nose that will make you weak at the knees. This wine fills the mouth with an abundance of lively fruit. There are excellent dark berries and I got lovely plum flavours. The tannins are delicate and develop into hints of chocolate. It has a lovely lingering finish that will leave you wanting more. Simply outstanding wine!
James Halliday: Medium red-purple; a wine strongly shaped by over two years in predominantly French barriques which have imparted a cedary/spicy overlay to the perfectly ripened blackcurrant fruit; good line and length. Screwcap.

2008 Katnook Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Jack's Comments: We have been waiting for this vintage for a while now and we expect it to be without doubt one of the best wines that they have ever made.
The 2008 vintage was spectacular and this is from one of the best wineries in the area.
Winemaker's Comments: Oak Maturation :: The wine was matured for approximately 22 months in 225 litre oak barrels. 15% of the barrels were new French Barriques with the balance a mix of previously filled French and American oak.
James Halliday :An altogether elegant wine, notwithstanding the cedar/cigar box thumbprint of 22 months in French and American oak; the medium-bodied palate has perfectly ripened cassis-accented fruit, the tannins are fine, the finish long. Screwcap.
