Pale orangey-red. Strong nose of spice, red berries, a hint of black pepper. Medium-bodied with sweetish plummy, raisiny and raspberry flavours. Long finish. Tannins almost gone; drink now.
Dark and dense, but still possessing a brightness with ripe wild berries, plum and red currant and a touch of wet earth and black pepper. Nice with ribs with a spicy/tangy Carolina bbq sauce.
Bright and fresh aromas and flavours of ripe fruit, blackcurrant, dark cherry, mocha and a touch of vanilla and spice with a juicy freshness on the finish. Fresh enough to enjoy on its own, but with enough structure to enjoy with both white and red meats.
Exhibits classic Cabernet aromatic blackcurrant profile backed up by scents of blackberry, minty green herb, a pinch of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla. Big, rounded flavours in the mouth are led by rich blackberry embraced by thick, velvety texture, firm but approachable tannins, harmoniously integrated fruit and discreet oak on the finish.
Deep ruby colour. Ripe nose of black fruits, chocolate, soft spices and eucalyptus. Thick and silky but warm and intense, with lots of very ripe fruit flavours in the middle palate. Finish is a bit short, leaving warm alcohol and an acid lift that lasts longer than the flavour. Drink now.
Dense purple colour; savoury, blackberry nose. Medium- to full-bodied, dry; blackberry and black-olive flavours expanding to blackcurrant and plum with lively acidity. Well priced.
This is an exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon from a vintage in Margaret River that Ring Bolt’s viticulturist described as “Near to perfect as could be hoped for.” The nose presents refined developed dark fruit with discernible blackcurrant notes, spice and a whiff of earthy mushroom. Gorgeously integrated fruit, spice and French oak come through on the palate with a lick of milk chocolate on the very long finish.
