2005 III Associates Memento Cabernet Sauvignon

Vintage 2005
Variety 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region McLaren Vale 100%
Bottled November 2006
Maturation 18 months in French Oak and American Oak Hogsheads

Our small planting of cabernet has consistently produced distinctive fruit for our ‘Futures Label’. This wine was barrel matured longer in French and American Oak. Ripe fruit flavours follow onto the Medium bodied palate, which finishes with a clean balanced astringency.

Tasting Notes November 2006
Colour Deep Plum
Nose Intense ripe plum characters with a touch of leafy Cabernet
Palate Ripe fruit flavours dominate a medium palate which finishes with a clean balanced astringency
Potential Medium term cellaring will add further complexity to what is a well balanced wine
