Plantagenet Aquitaine Cabernet Sauvignon 2003
A cooler year cabernet whose slightly leafy and cedary aromas of red and black berries overlie meaty nuances of blue cheese and leather. Its moderate length of plum and berry flavour is supported by quite a firm grip of slightly sappy tannin and sweet underlying oak. Finishing with a hint of capsicum, but not too green.

Winery
Plantagenet
The founding winery of the Mount Barker subregion, Plantagenet has access to some of the area's more mature vineyards. Over the years it has proven capable of exceptional Riesling, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, while its Chardonnay has become rather more consistent. Style, however, has refined somewhat from rather more blocky and robust reds of yesteryear towards a rather more suitable, elegant and fine-grained expression that works better in this cool environment.
