Wine Review - Seville Estate Reserve Cab Sav - Buy Australian Wine Online

Hi there,
I'm reviewing a nice little drop I shared with my wife Jodie this evening. Seville Estate, from Yarra Valley. I tasted their 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and it certainly was smooth. Here's the description on the label:

"The Seville Estate Reserve label denotes wines of exceptional quality using grapes sourced from the original 1972 plantings. This wine represents the very best barriques of the vintage. Back to back superb vintages with 2001 having low crops and concentrated fruit characters. Excellent deep colour with purple tints. Lifted cassis, blackberry fruit aromas with tobacco oak overtones. A rich complex palate with lingering fruit and oak tannins. Cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon at its best. Seville Estate wines age gracefully and will reward patience for many years to come"

We'll it's almost the end of 2007, and I figured that 6 years is enough time in the bottle for this little grape espresso. I do agree while wholeheartedly that it is indeed a fine drop. It reminded me of many fine wines that I have tasted, and ranks with the best. Smooth and long over the tongue, tannins quite soft and mellow, I could have had a while bottle to myself and not felt the strong tannin effects (the dry cheese smile!)

Seville Estate is one of Victoria's best kept secrets. James Halliday rates the winery 5 Stars and their Pinot Noir is rated by James as "best of the best". Seville Estate continues to produce wines that are simply "Yarra Classics" for drinking now and for cellaring.

Seville Estate was recently awarded 5 stars by James Halliday, Australia's premier wine expert.

Thanks for reading my review and feel free to post your own comments to my blog.
