Zema Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1986
A fresh, fruity red with intense red berry favours and softness on the palate. The nose is restrained and elegant. Given only a modest oak treatment in sympathy with the comparative lightness of the wine (against the Zema blockbusters of the past), it is well balanced and harmonious. It still has soft tannins which contribute depth, but these do not prevent the wine from being enjoyed now. For the price it gives individuality, drinkability and genuine fruit quality.
