Tasting Notes

The 2002 Howard Park Cabernet Sauvignon is a dense blood red with a dark centre. The nose displays predominantly the characters of Great Southern Cabernet Sauvignon; dusty earthy tones with dark blackcurrant fruits. There is high class cedary oak evident providing a savoury component to the bouquet. The palate displays the benefit of the addition of the Margaret River Cabernet with rich sweet fruit displaying chocolaty and ripe berries complementing the leaner more austere Great Southern Cabernet. The outstanding feature of the wine is the structural complexity achieved only in a few wines with mature ripe tannin and backed up by quality French oak.
