2019 Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes:
Winemakers Rebecca George and Andy Jones:
When poured, black cherry, wild raspberry, cedar and lavender aromas begin to emerge. With a bit of time in the glass, these aromas transform into cassis, plum and black licorice notes. The elegantly layered palate gives first impressions of black currant, kirsch, crushed river rock and cocoa dust. Finely integrated tannins and balanced acidity make this a great representation of the 2019 Kelly Fleming Estate.
Vintage Notes:
The 2019 growing season shared many of the great qualities of the 2018 vintage, with the most significant difference being a smaller yield. This smaller crop yield and petite berry size give the 2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon a deep dark profile with layers of complexity and nuance.
