Jack Mann Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Simply one of this country's greatest Cabernets, this wine is not just single vineyard fruit, the selection process is so rigorous that often it is just a few rows from the Justin Vineyard. Such is the reverence for that great man - Jack Mann. The 2002 is opaque in colour, showing a deep purple-red core with a bright, scarlet hue. The bouquet displays intense aromatics of dark bramble fruits, blueberry, cassis and dark chocolate with a subtle overlay of dried tobacco leaf, vanilla, wild mint and cedar oak. The palate is full flavoured with rich and sumptuous layers resulting in a wine with intensity, power and elegance
