Nugan Estate Coonawarra Alcira Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Deep purple with vibrant hues. Enticing dark fruit aromas of blackcurrant and mulberry mixed with a hint of mint and eucalypt entwine gracefully with earthy tones and mixed spice. Intense flavours of dark berries, vibrant cassis fruit and velvety tannins beautifully melded with subtle oak accompaniment.
James Halliday's wine tasting note. Rating: 95
Excellent crimson-purple; the best release from this vineyard to date; the bouquet and palate singing the same song of cassis, sweet earth, mint and soft but persistent mocha/vanilla oak that allies itself with the equally persistent fine, ripe tannins.
