Schild Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep and controlled with fresh, crunchy dark fruit supported by subtler secondary notes of cedar and sandalwood which provide a restrained edge to the wine. Ends with just a faint hint of classic Cabernet perfume to provide a clue at variety. Attractive creamy dark berry compote fruit is supported by a fresh and a focused line of travel through the palate. This dark fruit holds firm, deep and long before just a hint of dusty tannins shows late working around the edges, providing another layer and rounding out the wine. 2012 Scents of blackcurrant, dark plum and dark chocolate followed by some cedary tobacco notes. Medium to full bodied palate with flavours of ripe blackcurrant and dark chocolate with some cedary tobacco undertones and a spicy back palate. Slightly dry but fine grained tannins. 2011
