2007 Charles Sturt Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

Wine Maker: Andrew Drumm Assistant Winemaker: Anthony D'Onise

Region : The majority of the Cabernet Sauvignon was grown in the Hilltops region, with the remainder coming from the University vineyards in Orange. Most of the Merlot was grown in our vineyards in Orange, with a small quantity from our vineyards in Wagga Wagga.

Vintage 2007 The vintage was a very hot and dry year which resulted in very small berries and flavours towards the dark fruit end of the spectrum. The Orange region was cooler, which has added some complexity, and the softer tannins and natural acid have contributed to the excellent palate structure.

Aroma The nose has blackcurrant supported by spicy notes.

Palate The palate shows sweet blackcurrant and blackberry flavours underpinned by well-integrated oak and a lingering finish with fine, velvety tannins.

Cellaring:2011-2013
