Howard Park Scotsdale Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Rather greenish this medium-weight cabernet lacks a true core of ripeness Meaty and greenish with earthy cedary aromas and a lean rather sappy and metallic palate it is lifted to an extent by some sweet cedarvanilla oak

Winery
Howard Park
Established by legendary winemaker John Wade in the 1980s, Howard Park is owned by the Burch family who have expanded its scale and vision enormously. The company operates wineries in each of Margaret River and the Great Southern, from which it produces several tiers of typically elegant and stylish table wines. For mine, the jewels in the crown remain in the Great Southern, largely the source of its premier wines. Pick of the current releases is the 2012 Abercrombie Cabernet Sauvignon, the finest for many a year under this label. This blend traditionally matched around 5% Margaret River merlot with Great Southern cabernet sauvignon, while this wine features 30% Margaret River cabernet sauvignon instead.
