Oldenburg Vineyards Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

The wine appears dark and broody, with opaque crimson and garnet hues. The nose displays elegant aromas of graphite and dark berry coulis, backed by a subtle herbaceousness and minty undertones. The entry on the palate is full, rich and supple, while the refined tannins add a linear backbone to the wine. Mouth-filling flavours of ripe blackcurrants and blueberries persist, followed by a lingering finish reminiscent of hearty tomato stew. Full bodied and complex, yet full of elegance and finesse.
