Chapel Hill Shiraz 2007

NOTES

The Chapel Hill Winery Cabernet Sauvignon is a deliberately crafted to showcase the attractive and distinctive attributes of the variety in each region. The company policy of sourcing fruit from these two premium viticultural regions not only guarantees the wine’s consistency and increases it’s complexity but importantly, ensures that it articulately exhibits Cabernet’s rich and diverse flavour spectrum.

TASTING NOTES

Deep garnet red in colour leading to a nose displaying hedonistic blueberry, pimento and roasted almond flavours. The harmonious integration and balance of fruit flavours with the gently textured oak, is further enhanced by the defiantly persistent and mouth filling savoury tannin structure.

REVIEWS

Good colour; medium- to full-bodied wine with a mix of black and red berry fruits, chocolate and spice set in a framework of dusty/mocha tannins. Screwcap. 14.5% alc. Rating 91 Drink 2017James Halliday Tasted December 2008

A reflection of the care taken with the vines and fastidious vinification techniques, crowned by an extended ageing under the most splendid selection of oaks. Aromas of sweet berry and cocoa, plum and cherry extend onto the palate, where they are conjoined by savoury elements of tapenade, marmite and green peppercorn. Aromatic oak and stealthy tannins make this a very special submission, it finishes with great length and lingering fruit! Ozwinenews.com
