Coldstream Hills 2000 Reserve Cabernet
Oct 03 sells for $50 at cellar door. This wine was pick of all of them but I
had to taste it very quickly as we were running out of time. It was a clean
varietally correct Cabernet with a fruit driven bouquet with some lifted mint.
Lovely intense pure rich fruit showing dark chocolate and mint finish with great
intensity. The balance is perfect with smooth tannins which provide a good
mouth feel and harmonious nature. This is a great result for the 2000 vintage
resulting in a power without weight scenario that lingers for ages. Rated as Excellent with *** for value.
