Winemakers Comments and Tasting Notes
From Claire Valley, South Australia comes a wine of unsurpassed hue and taste. A Bronze Medal winner at the Clare Wine Show was well deserved and points you in the direction of a fine wine. This is a low preservative wine for those who find that they cannot tolerate high levels in their wines. Sourced form mature vineyards, the vibrant purple/violet colour together with the lifted aromas of berry, mint and pepper conspire to enchant your senses and leave you gasping for more. It’s lively character of dark chocolate and black cherries with subdued vanilla and subtle natural tannins will have you asking for more only to be seduced by the long lingering flavours on the finish. A celebratory wine for special occasions to be served with Italian or Mediterranean cuisine as well as light snacks. This wine will do well to lie in your cellar for 5 to 10 years and with only 150 cases produced you should be hasty in ordering yours now as they will not last for ever.

**** 2006 Cardinham Estate Sangiovese
92 Points
Sangiovese has shown some flashes of brilliance in the Clare Valley; nutty marzipan oak here, savoury dried berries and cedary oak too. It delivers really assertive palate structure, deep fine tannins placed savoury and even. Finishes with power and will benefit from time. |
