6 New World Cabernet Sauvignon
Wines
Helan Mountain, Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Ningxia, China 2010
Shy, yet, fine fruity nose. Succulent blackcurrant palate underpinned by fresh acidity and savoury notes. Ripe, structured tannins and tobacco leaf on the finish.
Stag's Leap Winery, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, USA 2012
Tight and dusty, and showing a black-soil and dark-roast coffee edge to the deep, jammy plum fruit. Big palate with a great pomegranate and mineral freshness to finish.
La Motte, Cabernet Sauvignon, Western Cape, South Africa 2012
Very ripe black fruit nose with floral overtones and a hint of cedar. Upfront, grippy tannin balanced by zesty fruit with an overall sense of restraint and coolness.
Bodega Norton, Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina 2011
Softly fruited nose with a touch of Christmas pudding spice then rich mouth filling cassis with a hint of tobacco and a long finish.
Brown Brothers , Patricia Cabernet Sauvignon, Victoria, Australia 2009
Deep, rich tarry nose with hints of prunes, liquorice and tobacco. Juicy red and black berries offset by big yet soft tannins with dried meat and dried herbs adding nice complexity.
Intriga, Cabernet Sauvignon, Maipó Valley, Chile 2011
A generous, interesting and layered nose with black fruits, spices and liquorice. The palate has a fantastic concentration of dark chocolate and oak with soft tannins carrying through the enduring finish.
