Springfield Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Red with a pinkish rim. This traditional method Cabernet Sauvignon from cool climate has a nice fruity nose with a bit of oak (also, some pencil shavings tasting it the second time round - 2011). Ripe red fruit on the palate with silky tannins and some oak. A little bit of spice in the background. Medium tail. A very easy drinker (for a Cabernet!).

Tasted June 2010
