Purple Palate

The Adelaide Hills is not known for its Cabernet Sauvignon, but this wine shows that when nurtured well it is a worthy opponent to the usually powerful Merlot from the hills. Drinking really well now, with just a touch of bottle age, the two varieties are harmoniously balanced. Cocoa powder dryness along with fresh plums, violets and bramble all combine with the soft tannins from both varieties to create a complex, dry and elegant wine that is brilliant right now, on its own. - SG
