Jane Brook Shovelgate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
Posted: Sun Jul 12, 2015 8:55 pm
This Swan Valley producer established its Margaret River vineyard about 20 year ago, and now all of its Cabernet is sourced from MR.
This is one of the best Cabernets from this maker in a while, and very Margaret River in style. Dense purple in colour, with intense blackcurrant and some eucalypt over spicy oak. The palate is rich and ripe, with blackcurrants and bright red berries overlaying the dry dusty tannins. The finish is long and clean.
2011 was a glorious Margaret River vintage, and this shows the year off very well. It should go another 5-8 years with no trouble at all.
Cheers
Allan
