About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonMcLaren Vale, AustraliaOur Jester Cabernet vineyards are located at the southern end of McLaren Vale, close to the town of Willunga.

We use the north eastern Italian technique of air drying twenty percent of the grapes for six weeks prior to fermentation. This concentrates flavour and adds a lovely fine grain tannin structure. 2012 was a fantastic vintage for McLaren Vale, producing deeply flavoured wines with poise and&am

Well, it most certainly does not lack oomph or concentration. Chocolate, blackcurrant, currants, dried cranberry and cherries with a little spicy wood. Full bodied, juicy cherry essence, dark chocolate, some almost violetty mouth perfume and a thick wad of smooth ripe tannin. Tannin and sweet fruit carry the finish on for ages. Within its style, a very good wine. Has vibrancy despite its size.
