Shingleback McLaren Vale, South Australia, Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Shingleback McLaren Vale, South Australia, Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Bright dark purple color - medium-full bodied - complex - black fruits predominate but layer of mineral/metallic overtakes and detracts from the tight blackberry; has hints of cedar and subtle dark chocolate on a spicy oak tannin finish. Consistent notes with earlier vintage tastings.  

RM 87 points.
