Claymore Graceland Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaker: David Mavor



Region: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon



Colour: Rich, deep purple red.



Bouquet

A complex and inviting blend of soft cedar oak, leather and sweeter black fruits with dark plum.



Palate

Densely layered flavours of gently sweet blackberry fruits with quite savoury / earthy notes. This is a medium weight wine of great complexity and structure held together by firm, mouth-coating tannins. That regional menthol lift shows on the finish.



General

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon has spent in excess of 18 months maturing in a careful selection of old and new, predominantly French oak. This time in barrel gives the opportunity for the naturally pronounced tannins of the Cabernet grape to soften and integrate - however further cellaring is recommended (up to 8 years).



Serve

Pair this complex little beast with old fashioned spiced Italian sausages or slow roasted saltbush hogget.
