First Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

First Creek Wines evolved as the label of one of Australia´s most successful contract winemaking business in the heart of the Hunter Valley, Australia´s oldest and most awarded wine region. Winemakers, Liz Jachson & Greg Silkman lead a team of younger artisans who aspire to transform the best fruit chracteristics into premium varietal styles. For their philosophy of "Varietal Definition - Regional Expression" they have selected the best Cabernet fruit from renowned vineyards in Orange, the region where the variety truly excels.
This is a wine with great depth of colour and flavour without the gripping tannins often associated with this variety. This is a robust wine showing the flavour and elegance associated with high quality fruit from the cooler Orange region. Sweet dark berry fruits and hints of chocolate and cinnamon oak. A well structured palate showing ripe Cabernet fruit flavours of cassis and blackberries, balanced well spicy oak and chewy tannins. Screwcap.
