Petaluma
Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Coonawarra, Limestone Coast, South Australia, Australia
Typical Coonawarra mint - also cassis, hints of chocolate and blackberry. Sweet on the palate, the oak is dominated by the excellent fruit - great this way rather than the other way round. Medium plus intensity with supple tannins. An excellent Coonawarra Cabernet. Cabernet Sauvignon 60%; Merlot 31%; 9% Shiraz. First of 6. HH’s drinking window through to 2040. Bottled without filtration.

Very distinct menthol on the front palette but rolls into deep fruit and chocolate with typical dusty tannin. Lovely

Any Petaluma is generally great but this will be a special treat on my birthday this year!

Had the 1988 vintage, very smooth, and nice finish on the palate.
