Hampi Hills Cabernet Sauvignon

This 2012 vintage is developing nicely. Still needs several years, as most Cabs do, but a pleasure to drink. Great depth and rich, dark fruit.

A beautifully made wine. Balanced, rich, and accessible, without excesses of oak or artificial over ripeness. Tailored and silky in texture for a wine of such depth. Dark earth and fruit. Lovely nose and finish.

This excellent Cabernet Sauvignon from the Hampi Hills in India should be tasted blind against a number of California Cult Cabernets and the results would shock cult Cali Cab lovers. The wine is intense, deep, and rich in dark cassis and blue plum fruit that is balanced and mercifully not over oaked the way many Cali Cabs are. It is a joy to drink. This is a world class wine that will compete well with much more expensive new world style Cabs from California and Australia, and which studiously avoids the curse of excess alcohol and oak that plagues many California and Australian Cabs. While this Cab is focused on competing successfully in the global market for fine wines, which it does, it is also by far the finest red wine from India I have ever encountered, and I spend a lot of time in India.

Surprisingly decent

In magnum

From 1500ml

Darker than a normal cab. Boquet is sweet raspberry. Good tannins with an earthy berry mix. However this wine tastes bad. Do not buy it .

Quite good for an Indian wine!

Interesting, complex yet soft and inviting.
Starts a little acidic, needs some time to breathe. Lightly Oakes. Very pleasant. My first Indian wine.

Nice balance. Fresh and lively. Exceeding all my expectations!
