BendbrookSection 19 Cabernet Sauvignon
About this product
Handpicked and gently crushed just after dusk on a cool night. Matured in new and used French oak barrels for 15 months. A Cabernet with dense ripe red and blue lifted fruits and rich cassis and tobacco notes. Some spice mix and earthy tones. The wine is full-bodied and fruit-forward with pleasing black fruit surrounding a leafy core. The tannins are fine and focused. Good cleansing acidity with an elegant but savoury finish.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Reflects the elegance of '17 to a surprising degree, and without any mint or green notes ex the cool, slow ripening vintage. It was matured in used French oak for 6 months, and once again surprised. The colour is bright and full, the varietal character pure, the tannins a point. Fully deserved its trophy for Best Cabernet Sauvignon at the Adelaide Hills Wine Show '18.
