Gift from Derek

This is all about subtle fruit, fresh and dried herbs and a dose of white pepper, somewhat refreshing compared to other cabernets from this region.  The savoury profile and overall complexity builds the argument for a compelling drop.

Rich red colour, a little green capsicum and a sprinkling of dried oregano.  Smooth tannins with a delicate savoury finish.

I suggest wine drinkers give this a try next to a Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon for an education.

72 points, thanks Derek!
