Nugan Estate
Riverina Single Vineyard Stomper's Cabernet Sauvignon
Coonawarra, Limestone Coast, South Australia, Australia
Australian Cabernet line-up: though this area of Australia is more known for bulk production, this is a small and high quality producer situated in the heart of New South Wales. Smokey charcoal, pyrazine, and eucalyptus aromas, showing a beautiful dark ruby core. Fuller and more rich in flavor, with a velvet mouthfeel showcasing flavors of cherry and blackberry reduction, mint, gravel, and charred cedar wood.

A little dull in the glass, medium ruby colour.
Medical herbs at a first sniff, like iodine, but goes away soon. Then medium intensity of primary aromas of black fruit, like blackberry and secondary of oak like vanilla.
Dry with medium(+) acidity, but not a natural sensation. Medium but very astringent tannin, medium body and medium finish. The wine is in a developing stage. Drink now however, as it is not suitable for further ageing.
The wine is unbalanced, as alcohol and acidity are too high with respect to the other components. Acceptable quality.

Nice wine but not amazing. A bit green, tannins could use some time.

Oct 20th, 2015Of the Nugan wines, this stood out to me most. I tasted cassis and berries. As for the taste of graphite, I'm not sure I got that. A very impressive wine at a reasonable price point.
