Witchmount Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 CONFIRM 2012 VINTAGE

Cabernet Sauvignon Sunbury Victoria
The propitious Witchmount vines are not far from from the relative comfort of Melbourne city but the surrounding Sunbury mesoclimes are very cool climate indeed. These are parts that are highly opportune for yields of Cabernet Sauvignon, characterised by intensely flavoured little berries lined with refined, elegant tannins. The closest husbandry and an uncompromising standard of viticulture, mean that Witchmount can produce one of Victoria's stateliest Cabernet wines, crafted to a style that's so evocative of her siblings from Bordeaux.
Deep crimson red, darker robes. Bramble and cassis nose, liquorice and black plums over a background of new French vanilla oak. Structured palate of black currant flavours, plum and dark cherries on a carriage of disciplined, polished oak, cedar and vanilla spice characters persist before a long, deliciously drying tannin finish.
