Wines
2008 “The Dogwalk” Cabernet Merlot
Colour
Deep red – almost black.
Aroma
Attractive aromas of “superripe” Satsuma plum, black cherries and dark chocolate, with a just a touch of “charry” French oak complimenting the concentrated fruit characters.
Palate
Rich flavours of ripe, dark fruits and chocolate abound with very soft tannins, subtle oak and balanced acidity adding length and structure to the finish.
Summary
A really good wine from a challenging vintage. Good to drink now for such a young wine, but will take 3-5 years cellaring without any problems at all.
