Deep garnet/purple, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Aphrodite is slightly closed on the nose though gives crushed cassis, black plums and eucalyptus notes accented by chocolate box and cedar chest notes. Big, concentrated, rich and full in mouth, it offers a wall of flavor backed up by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness. It finishes long.

Lithe and sleek, with snappy red berry, tangy red pepper and floral flavors coming together on the focused, intense finish. Best from 2017 through 2020. 85 cases made.??–HS??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
