Majella 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon SA2003

This wine is due for release at the end of May or early in June. The nose was initially closed and didn’t show much at all. The mouth feel was interesting and to quote someone else its “almost butterscotch smooth” with its silky but dusty tannins, balanced acid and high quality obvious but persistent fruit.

The wine is ample weight with a firm consistency, solid structure, developed complexity that fills the mouth with blackcurrant,  liquorice and a fair wack of varietal green flavours that finishes with a high quality finish that lasts as long as one of Prof Lyn’s sermons. Rated as Highly Recommended with *** for value no wonder they are queuing up to buy this wine. About 4,5000 cases produced, it should peak in about 2007.
