Winery: Sandalford
Region: Margaret River
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Your Wine Guy says:
Sandalford have produced a very classy Cabernet here. It shows the classic dark fruits with the depth of flavour and structure for a long time in the cellar. You’ll find concentrated flavours of blackcurrants, mulberries, some dark cherry and plum balanced by nicely against some smoky and cedary oak with firm but fine tannins.

The winemaker says:
Colour: Dark cherry with a magenta hue.
Nose: Very much a classic “Bordeaux” like nose with ripe berry fruits and a touch of violet. Oak nuances are well and truly integrated in to the bouquet.
Palate: Quite young and fresh still. Certainly ripe juicy dark fruit flavours with textured tannins and a warming mouthfeel. Slightly more herbal and savoury in nature, as opposed to a “sweet” fruit style. No evidence of jamminess. Balanced with good length, this wine will cellar well under the correct conditions for several more years to come. – Paul Boulden, Winemaker Sandalford Wines
