    2001 Mount Horrocks Cabernet Merlot
  WATERVALE, CLARE VALLEY/SOUTH AUSTRALIA
 
 
 
       
 
Limited September Release Case Size: 12/750ml Bordeaux Blends
   
  Tasting Notes

Pure cabernet fruit aromas of cherry, dark berry (perhaps from the splash of merlot), spearmint and a touch of black olive complement some smart winemaking influenced characters including gentle smoky, nutty oak. Opulent, ripe cassis and berry flavors abound in the mouth, magnificently balanced by a velvety texture derived from firm but gentle acidity and fine-grained cedar-like tannins. Concentrated and persistent. This elegant cabernet with not so much as a hint of green leaf or hard tannin is a well-rounded robust glass of wine to enjoy now or the next eight to ten years.
