Winemakers Comments
The 2010 Chapel Hill Cabernet Sauvignon perfectly articulates the regional expression and charm of McLaren Vale. The close proximity of McLaren Vale to the Gulf of St Vincent and the resultant cooling afternoon sea breezes ensure that the grapes do not ripen too hastily and also facilitates the development of optimum levels of flavour, colour and tannin.
The subsequent wine exudes an evocative array of flavours. Brooding mulberry, dark cherry, aniseed and roasted chestnut flavours all mingle harmoniously in the wine. The flavour profile is underpinned by the graceful and seamless integration of the gently spicy oak and the sumptuous finely grained tannin structure.
