Tasting Notes
Appearance:
In the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon is inky black, hinting at the intensity and concentration held within.
Nose:
On the nose, classic varietal aromas immediately captivate. Savour pronounced bay leaf and earthy undertones, settling atop a core of dense, dark fruits. The bouquet is sophisticated, weaving together these traditional Cabernet characters with subtle nuances that continue to reveal themselves with time in the glass.
Palate:
The palate is focused and mouth-filling, with layers of vibrant, intense fruit enveloped by very fine, silky tannins. Each sip unveils deep, primary blackcurrant and plum notes, harmoniously supported by well-judged oak that integrates perfectly without overpowering the fruit. The wine's structure is both powerful and elegant, with texture and balance that testify to careful winemaking and patience throughout the maturation process.
Finish:
A long, persistent finish completes the experience, distinguished by lingering earthy spice, bay leaf, and an echo of graphite minerality. The fine tannins ensure a polished and harmoniously sustained end, suggesting excellent ageing potential in the cellar.
Cherubino Frankland River Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the region's potential for producing compelling, site-specific wines, best enjoyed alongside hearty dishes such as braised lamb shanks.
