Note di degustazione
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark, powerful wine endowed with serious depth. Dark blue and black-toned fruit, lavender, violets, graphite, savory herbs, cedar and leather flesh out in a bold, dramatic Cabernet built on opulence and breadth. Hints of raspberry, sage and mint develop over time, adding an element of lift, but this remains a big Pritchard Hill Cabernet that showcases power more than anything else.

Living up to the potential predicted last year, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is fabulous. One hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon aged 22 months in 80% new French oak, there are 500 cases of this terrific wine. With its inky purple color, a glorious nose of blackberry and blueberry liqueur, full-bodied mouthfeel, dense, pure notes interwoven with camphor, charcoal embers and spring flowers, this is stunning stuff and a great example of the Estate’s potential. Drink now-2025+.
Bright ruby-red. A bit wilder on the nose than the 2011, offering scents of black raspberry, mocha, smoke, tar, game and roasted earth. Supple and very sweet in the mouth, showing an almost candied quality to its black raspberry and chocolate flavors. This is jammy in a positive way, and I suspect it will lose some of its baby fat by the time it's bottled at the end of this year. Finishes with substantial tongue-dusting tannins and excellent length. I look forward to trying this next year in its finished form
Gandona's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon dazzles from start to finish. Bright red berries, lavender, white flowers, mocha and sweet herbs all take shape in a wine of pure pedigree and complexity. The vintage has given the Cabernet Sauvignon soft contours to match its complex, beguiling personality. Today, the flavors are particularly expressive.
