Wolf Blass Gold Label Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 750ml

Harvested in March-April of 2002 the exceptional fruit for this wine was fermented in a combination of small rotary and static fermenters. The wine was pressed off skins using a gentle air bag press and finished fermentation in barrel. After several rackings, the wine was matured in French and American oak for 20 months. Screwcaps were used to ensure freshness and preserve the characters of the wine. The 2002 vintage displays aromas of violets, mint, warm dark chocolate with tobacco and cassis, combined in a complex bouquet, typical of the Coonawarra region. The palate is rich and well textured with fine grained tannins and a long seamless finish. This wine will reward up to 8 years cellaring.
