2017 Juniper Cornerstone Karridale Cabernet Sauvignon

A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec matured in French oak barriques (50% new) for 18 months. Dense black as night heart with a deep dark red black hue. Elevated aromatics of blackcurrant, mulberry and black olive morph into vanillin cedar, tobacco, earth and spicy bay leaf notes. Medium to full bodied with plenty of structure lurking beneath, rich blackcurrant and mulberry fruits overlay cedary tobacco characters, dusty earth, black olive and spicy bay leaf nuances. Fine grained tannins have a sturdy feel and firm up the finish a touch. The aftertaste long, refined and expressive.
