Mount Horrocks Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Finely crafted from a hot year, with a sweet bouquet of ripe plums, blackberries, restrained cedar/vanilla oak with hints of bay leaf and cola. ItÕs smooth and supple, gentle and elegant, with a sweetly fruited presence of plums and dark berries supported by silky tannins and backed by subtle vanilla oak, finishing just marginally thin, with a suggestion of baked fruit.

Winery
Mount Horrocks
Mount Horrocks is a long-established small Clare Valley producer whose range includes a delightfully fresh and faintly smoky barrel-fermented Semillon and the popular regional dessert wine benchmark of Cordon Cut Riesling. While its shapely Riesling is typical of the region, the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon each delivered finely crafted wines from the 2013 vintage.
