About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonMargaret River, AustraliaLeeuwin Estate Art Series Cabernet is one of the unsung heroes of Cabernet in Australia, with the Chardonnay taken all the attention away from within the Leeuwin stable. 1999 was a cool, dry year, culminating in an extended ripening period. A late unseasonal burst of heat matured the fruit perfectly. This wine has strong, vibrant flavour, with silky tannins indicating this to be an outstanding vintage.

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.

Medium red-purple; the bouquet has a complex array of cedary, spicy black fruit aromas, the medium-bodied palate very much in the savoury, cedary end of the spectrum, but does have clean blackcurrant fruit underpinning the structure. The best for some years.
