2009 Graham Beck Gamekeepers Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaker's Notes
"Great complexity of black berry fruit and cassis on the nose, which is well supported by spicy mineral and cigar box flavours. This wine has a rich, juicy and intense palate with a long lingering finish. Great with rich spicy meat dishes, barbeques, or with strong cheeses at the end of a dinner."

Technical Notes
"Handpicked at full phenolic ripeness during the last week of February 2009. Destalked, gently crushed and fermented with 4 daily pump overs to ensure maximum extraction. Once dry, the juice is pressed and transferred into 2nd fill French and American Oak for malolactic fermentation in barrel. Kept for a further 9 months of maturation in barrel to gain complexity and a full mouthfeel. 14.5% alc."
