Petaluma, The Hundred Line, Coonawarra, South Australia, 2010

Tasting: Coonawarra & Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

Chocolate, mocha, cigar nose. Liquorice, lingering fruit bomb. Blueberries and ripe texture lingers but still needs to soften.

Tasting: Coonawarra & Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep ruby. Scented, creamy oaky nose, fresh & modern. Full, sensuous, oaky palate, flashy, modern, dominant winemaking.

Tasting: Coonawarra & Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep youthful ruby with a distinctly minty, eucalyptus undertone to the nose, attractively bright sweet dark berry fruit opulence and power on the palate underscored by a eucalypt character and bright fresh acidity; not everyone’s cup of tea with that degree of eucalypt.
