2005 Leeuwin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Art Series
Cabernet Sauvignon: 750ml
$39.99
Chuck Hayward, JJ Buckley, April 2011
86% cabernet sauvignon, 14% malbec. On the nose, enticing and complex aromas develop, offering graphite and stone, mixed with notes of beef marinade, fresh earth and sandalwood, bringing to mind Bordeaux. Reinforcing that impression is the elegantly profiled palate, displaying flavors of black cherry and currants, enlivened by refreshing acidity and supported by moderate tannins providing a lively finish that fades gently. This medium weight wine is immediately approachable and though delicious now, it will be even better in 6-8 years. A worthy companion to Leeuwin's famous Art Series Chardonnay, this is a classic example of Margaret River cabernet.
