Katnook Estate
Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
Coonawarra, Limestone Coast, South Australia, Australia
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
