2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Giovanni Museum: (Limit of 2 Bottles per Mixed Case)

Tasting Notes: The 2005 Cabernet has a rich full palate of sweet berry fruits, cassis and integrated vanillin oak. This elegant wine still has a great deal of backbone and is very much the classic Cabernet Sauvignon. As the wine has not been over filtered it has thrown a light crust so is best not shaken around before pouring. We recommend that all red wines are best decanted regardless of age and whether or not sediment is present.  Food Suggestions: Red meat, game & fermented cheeses Awards: 2009 National Cool Climate Wine Show - Gold  2008 Rutherglen Wine Show - Silver  2007 National Cool Climate Wine Show - Bronze  2007 Sydney Royal Wine Show - Bronze 2008 Australian Wine Companion, James Halliday 90/100 Cellaring Potential: Until 2013 Alc/Vol: 13.0%

Reviews

"An elegant style of cabernet in which the fine tannins harmonise well with the clearly defined varietal fruit. This is a very true-to-region wine. Excellent Value."
