Calluna Vineyards - Calluna Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 (750ml)

From this vintage forward, our flagship Calluna Estate will bear the words “Cabernet Sauvignon” on its front label. It will continue to be made with a selection of the best fruit from our vineyards featuring all 5 of our classic red Bordeaux varietals:

78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec

“The nose is beautifully precise, wafting from the glass in a mix of sweet cassis, black cherries, lead pencil, cigar ash, dark soil tones and a discreet foundation of new oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and impressively light on its feet for this varietal, with a good core, lovely soil signature and grip, ripe, buried tannins and a long, complex and gently warm finish. This wine will age very gracefully, despite it being a bit riper in personality than most vintages of Calluna cabernet.”
