St Hugo Cellar Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

A firm, long-term Coonawarra cabernet with strength and structure. Its brooding bouquet of cassis, mulberries, plums and cedary oak overlies nuances of minerals, mint and dried herbs. Full to medium-bodied, itÕs richly and generously flavoured, with a drive of small dark berry/plum fruit and a hint of cigarboxy complexity that moves down its drying spine of chalky tannins towards a long and faintly minty finish.

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.
