Waninga 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon – April 2003

 

A subtle bouquet that took some coaxing to show slightly sweet but predominantly savoury berry, milk chocolate and spearmint.

 

A (just) mid weight wine with slightly chewy tannins that whilst being unobtrusive are still noticeable; the acid and fruit match perfectly. The structure is aimed at easy drinking and being food friendly.

 

Flavours are savoury dark berry with a touch of sweetness, loads of mint, a bit of tomato leaf characters and milk chocolate, just what the bouquet promises. The wine can be drunk now but will be better with a couple of years in the cellar.

 

Rated as Recommended with **** for value at $20 the wine is elegant and will be enjoyed by those that like a lighter style of red.
