Wendouree Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Wendouree Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Tight as a tiger with brilliant tannins and Italianate style flavours running wild embodies this wine.  When I say Italianate flavours, I really mean that the flavours are more savoury than you would normally expect from an Australian wine yet they are all intense in nature. Try thinking about the essence of a savoury blackcurrant rolled in brambles and a smoking pipe filled with cracked pepper that all finishes with a hint of peppermint. All these flavours are coiled up in the structure at the moment but they do emerge over the course of 8 days. This years wines by Wendouree are a little more controlled than last year but they are of higher quality as well. Just sit back and relax with something else in your hands, like the Shiraz Mataro, while you wait for this one to blossom.
