The cooler weather is on the way and I'm craving reds! This 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon from Katnook Estate in Coonawarra (South Australia) has recently been released and retails for approx $40 a bottle at places like Dan Murphy's and Vintage Cellars. The wine is matured for 13 months in 50% French (10% new) and 50% older American oak barriques to help develop it into a spectacular wine.
Not to mention it's one of the 65 wines listed in the 'Excellent' category of Australia's prestigious Langton's Classification! And here's what Mr. Spittoon and I thought of it..
Opaque inky purple red on the eye with a nose full of sweet black cherry and cassis with some spice and cedar wood coming through. On the palate it's juicy and fruit driven with a super lingering finish. Notes of black plums and cherries with hints of cocoa stood out for me. A wonderful rich red wine!
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #gifted #tcweekdaywine #tctastingnotes #katnookestate — 7 years ago
