Redman The Redman Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Shiraz 2019 Coonawarra - 6 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION

“The Redman” represents the finest fruit grown on the Redman family’s 40 year vineyards in the heart of Coonawarra. Each year we earmark the very best parcels of wine to blend together to produce just 8 hogsheads (2,400 litres) of this flagship wine. The 2006 growing season began with average winter rainfall and fine spring conditions. Flowering and fruit set were slightly earlier, however cool and windy conditions towards the end of flowering caused some inconsistent set.  A warm to hot summer with favourable rainfall events throughout encouraged steady vine growth and balance resulting in normal ripening. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot yields were slightly below average with excellent fruit quality.

TASTING NOTES

Medium to deep brick red. Aged characters of tobacco, cigar box, leather and earth are apparent on the bouquet. Fine structured with soft tannin and acid backbone with intense fruit characters and hints of mint. The flavours persist into the long dry finish.
