"The Cover Drive" Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

On the southern boundary of Coonawarra is the old Penola cricket ground, which first saw a ball bowled in anger and the flashing cover drives of the local champions in 1950.

Sight:

This wine is dark garnet red in colour with high clarity.

Smell:

The nose is very fragrant with intense cassis and cedar dominating the aromas. There is some underlying nuances of fennel and damson plums.

Taste:

A generous, medium bodied palate with lovely succulent tannins which carry the flavours of of blackcurrant, sandalwood, liquorice and morello cherries.

Time:

As with previous releases of ‘The Cover Drive’, the wine displays harmonious balance and can be enjoyed now or will reward cellaring for 5 years.
