2006 GREENLIP Port Lincoln Cabernet Sauvignon

Bright red. Cassis, extremely varietal wine. Blackberry and dark cherry. This wine is very pure and shows classic Cabernet flavours. The maritime climate of the Lincoln Estate vineyard assists to produce Cabernet that we think in time will rival the great Cabernet regions of Australia. Drinkable now, however the wine suggest it will benefit from 608 years cellaring.

14.5% alc/vol - Bottled in June 2007 - 2000 doz made.

2004 GREENLIP Port Lincoln Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a serious Cabernet. The full flavours from the vineyard some through in this wine, and the low cropping levels from the 2004 vintage in the Greenlip vineyard show through in the concentration of Mulberry and sweet plum fruit.

14% alc/vol - Bottled in August 2005 - 500 doz made.

2003 GREENLIP Port Lincoln Cabernet Sauvignon

COLOUR: Deep red colour NOSE: Fragrant aromas of fully ripened blackcurrant and very fine cedary French oak. Descriptors such as ribena and cassis readily spring to mind here. Typically Cabernet. PALATE: The palate is quite plump and juicy with ample oak and well balanced acid tannins. ALCOHOL: 14.0% BOTTLED: October 2004 ~ 165 dozen NOTES: Nice Cabernet wine displaying some lovely varietal characters. Can drink now, but will really flourish with 3-5 years in the cellar.
