Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Wine Advocate

The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in seasoned French hogsheads, is a glass-coating purple/black color. It exhibits an aromatic array of mineral, tar, black currant, and blackberry followed by a dense, layered, succulent Cabernet with outstanding depth and concentration. It conceals enough ripe tannin to evolve for 6-8 years and should offer prime drinking from 2014 to 2030. Greenock Creek Vineyard & Cellars, owned by Michael and Annabelle Waugh, remains one of South Australia’s iconic wineries. Start with a great terroir, add in old vine material and meticulous winemaking, and end with extraordinary results. (JM 2/2009))
