BOTTLING SPECIFICATION:
14.5% Alcohol, 8.6 Standard drinks
A single vineyard wine off our Jokers peak vineyard on the
slopes of Mount Canobolas
Bronze Medal - 2009 National Cool Climate Wine Show
Bronze Medal - 2009 NSW Small Winemakers Show
Bronze Medal - 2009 Orange Region Wine Show
Appearance: A rich inky purple colour.
Nose: The usual downfall of cool climate cabernet, greenness, is
not evident. Sweet black fruits come across with a little oak.
Palate: Long and intense, the cabernet aromas transfer to the
palate along with subtle tannins and good currant spice. A palate
coater that is big yet full of finesse. Tannins are present but not
overbearing and that Orange region acidity is slightly
apparent.
Food Match: A dish of lamb or beef chops would work well.
Cellaring: This wine will benefit from medium to long term
cellaring, 6-9 yrs, and under ideal conditions, perhaps even a
dozen years.
