The Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a traditional Bordeaux blend comprising cabernet, merlot,petit verdot, cabernet franc and malbec. Winemaking techniques emphasise the complexity attainable in a single vineyard wine delivering a taut, angular cabernet-dominant powerhouse that remains composed, svelte and elegant. Medium-bodied with a pleasing density of fruit, fine grained graphite-like tannins and cool acidity; a decent lick of vanilla custard French oak completes the balance and shape.
Blend: 86% cabernet sauvignon, 6% petit verdot, 4% malbec, 3% merlot, 1% cabernet franc.
Deep, dark red wine withruby red hues. On the nose you’ll find praline and cooked-apple with citrus and lemon-grass undertones; bay leaf,sage and mint leaves; a fetching floral perfume,and baking spice and vanilla custard oak.
Taste it and a formidable,lively mid-palate kicks in with a pleasing density ofsucculent blackberry,boysenberry and mulberry fruits, gravel,chocolate and nori. Fine grained graphite delivers a long pencilly finish.
Cellaring Potential: Very drinkable now but patience will be rewarded for up to 10 years.
