Description
"This wine is a deep crimson red in the glass. Intensely aromatic with a mix of both red and black currant fruit with a hint of savoury spice and dark mint chocolate. Opens with a burst of dark vine fruits countered with notes of sage and clove spice. Layers of fresh currants, spice, earth and chocolate give the palate great intensity and depth of flavour. This vibrant core of fruit runs long with fine, graphite like tannin and cedary oak. A soft, layered, tireless finish closes out a wine of great balance and cellaring potential." - Winemaker Notes
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 The Benbournie Cabernet Sauvignon opens with alluring creme de cassis and floral aromas accented by violets, mint, some cloves and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, it is richly textured with firm, fine tannins, a very fresh acid line and a long finish. It should age though is approachable now and will drink to 2015+." - 93 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
