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.
