| Wine Notes | 95 Block Cabernet Sauvignon from the Abbey Vineyard is highly rated Reynell clone, co-fermented with 5% petit verdot, spending 30 days on skins before maturation for 21 months in 100% new thick-staved French oak. It is deep ruby red in colours and very perfumed. Ripe Cabernet fruit alongside smooth cedar. Bright and fruit driven, the addition of Petit Verdot brings a slightly floral nature. Ample tannins. Smooth finish. |
