The 2005 Bowen Estate Cabernet Sauvignon could help to restore the name of Coonawarra Cabernet. Opaque purple in color, it has a fragrant perfume of cedar, tobacco, cassis, and black currant. This leads to a medium to full-bodied Cabernet with spicy, red and black fruit flavors with good layering, ripe tannins, and a balanced personality. This lengthy Cabernet can be cellared for 6-8 years but is enjoyable now. Importer: John Larchet, The Australian Premium Wine Collection; tel. +61 2 9369 1844
