Deakin Cabernet proves a point
9th October 2009
Leading wine writer, Jeremy Oliver, says he'd like to send a case of Deakin Estate 07 Cabernet Sauvignon to every UK wine critic who says Australian Riverland cabernet is industrial.
In the Oct/Nov 2009 edition of Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine, Jeremy says of this wine "This affordable and delicious young cabernet is scented with minty, violet-like aromas of cassis, blackberries, plum and cedary oak. It’s supple and juicy, with a piercing presence of small berries, plum and lingering earthy notes tightly knit with fine, dusty tannins and restrained vanilla oak, finishing with genuine length and balance. It’s simply an exceptional wine for its price. I’d like to send a case to every UK wine critic who says Australian Riverland cabernet is industrial."
We just might take up Jeremy's excellent suggestion!
