St Hugo Cabernet Shiraz Blend 2012
A traditional and stylish blend whose brightly lit, dark and earthy aromas of small berries, plums and cedary oak reveal a whiff of Lyndoch mintiness and a hint of mineral. ItÕs elegant and juicy, with a supple, almost jammy depth of small red and black fruits that builds richness towards the finish. Tightly integrated with cedar/chocolate oak, itÕs framed by genuinely firm, pliant and dusty tannins.

St Hugo
St Hugo, initially created as part of the 'Saints' range of Orlando, spent a few years under the Jacob's Creek brand before recently being given a brand of its own. Naturally, it features the Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon we have known for so long, augmented by a Shiraz and Grenache Shiraz Mataro from the Barossa Valley plus a Barossa-Coonawarra marriage of shiraz and cabernet. At the top of the tree sit two very special wines under the 'Vetus Purum' tag – outstanding reserve grade wines from Coonawarra cabernet (2010: 96/100, drink 2030-2040+) and Barossa shiraz (2010: 96/100, drink 2022-2030+). The brand's exact fate is a little uncertain right now and will become clearer once the pending merge between Pernod Ricard's wine division adn Accolade Wines has settled down.
