TN: Peccavi Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 (Margaret River)

Post by Waiters Friend »

I'd not heard of Peccavi before - apparently a small producer that distributes mainly through restaurants, I think. 2011 was a top year in MR and that was what attracted me.

Deep purple in colour. Typical MR cabernet nose, with blackberries, cassis, mulberries, tomato leaf, and cedary oak. The palate is complex, with developed dark fruits, leather, and black olive. Tannins are totally integrated, and acid plays only a supporting role. Medium to full bodied, and finishes quite long.

At its peak, I suspect - in fact, it would have been interesting to see this wine earlier in its life.

Cheers

Wine, women and song. Ideally, you can experience all three at once.
