Great Southern Range

2005 "Book Ends" Cabernet Sauvignon

The '05 season was warm and remarkably fine for the first half …..we were able to harvest the fruit at optimal ripeness – and importantly, before the 10” rain experienced at the end of March /early April! Luckily the majority of the Cabernet fruit had been harvested prior to the rain and was unaffected.

Colour:
Deep ruby red.

Aroma:
Intense blackcurrant and ripe berries are beautifully balanced with cedar, licorice and smoky oak.

Palate:
An elegant wine with dense blackcurrant and brambleberry flavours. The mid palate is medium bodied with soft silky tannins. The finish is long and dry,  with  lingering toasty oak and licorice flavours which round the palate off nicely.

Cellar Potential:
4 6 years.
