Casas, Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River 1999

Red/purple.

Vinturi - charred oak/cigar ash, subtle juniper/clove, black fruit liqueur, earth, toasted nut nose.

Sweet initial textural feel immediately slapped into shape by strong acidity and moderate tannin. This will be interesting to watch over a few days, as the acidity gets the best of the flavor flow, essentially killing it in the finish. Front teeth completely constricted by acid/tannin "chew".


$35. 15.7% alcohol, from a cool region in western Australia.
