De Bortoli Gulf Station 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Yarra Valley

Gulf Station is the original pastoral holding of the Bell family who settled in the Yarra Valley in 1864. The side of the De Bortoli Winery was known as the Summer Paddock. It has a large dam, held green pasture throughout the dry summer month and was a cool place to be seen drinking premium Yarra Valley wine. The Gulf Station range of wines are made from both estate grown fruit and that of other low yielding, premium Yarra Valley vineyard.
This Cabernet has been matured in French oak barriques and hogsheads for 12 month. It exhibits ripe blackcurrant Cabernet aromas with hints of cedar and anis. The palate shows depth of varietal fruit, has classic fine grained tannins and a soft balanced finish. Try with char grilled sirloin or a hearty minestrone. Screwcap.
