Sandalford Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve 2009
Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia The '09 is a 92/8 mix of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz at has been described as one of the best ever vintages in the Margaret River. A cool wet start followed by a warm (no heat spikes) growing season and a long Indian Summer allowed for maximum ripeness and balance. The nose is awash in eucalyptus, resin and wild black raspberries. The palate a brooding mix of dried herbs, black liquorice and savoury cran-cherry fruit flavours. This needs bottle time but if you want to drink it now serve it with a grilled T-bone steak to tame the elements.
