Ainsworth Estate 2001 Cabernet
Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Oct 03 sells for $25 at cellar door. Purple
in colour the wine has a clean and light hue. Dusty cedar, mint and sweetish
mulberry are found on the bouquet. There are lots of smooth tannins but they
are well done especially considering the delicate pure fruit involved. This is
all right for a lighter style of wine with savoury mulberry and sweet chocolate
flavours. It’s well constructed with a firm consistency and long structure
which should improve over the next three years and then hold. Rated as Recommended with *** for value.
