Wakefield St Andrews Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Clare Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThis single vineyard Clare Valley cabernet sauvignon is sourced from the historic St. Andrews property, first planted in 1892. Classic terra rossa soils atop a limestone base yield this refined cab, the riper red and black fruit showing some softening at the corners, but holding the bright freshness. Ample leather, dried cherry and tobacco leaf lead, with cherry, thorny cassis and cedar bringing up the rear. Eighteen months in French oak are integrating well into the fruit, with lengthy tannins straddling ripe and grippy. Sweet spices and warm ripeness (14.5 percent alcohol) gives this a generosity that is well suited to roast pork if drinking now. Otherwise, continue to cellar for another few years.Tasted: 18 April 2016Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $57.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
