VINTAGE: 2018 SANDALFORD Prendiville Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml, ALC: 14.5%
Vintage 2018 - The 2018 vintage was a return to the fantastic conditions that Margaret River is known for. With a wet start to the season in winter and early spring providing a good base of ground water for the vines. November was very dry, perfectly timed with the vines going through flowering and fruit set. After rainfall in both December and mid-January, the season changed and we saw an extended dry and warm period through to the end of picking in mid-April. The maximum temperatures were consistent with long term average and the sea breeze providing the essential cool nights that Margaret River is known for. All fruit this season is of exceptional quality and showing great varietal characters.

VISUAL: Dark Ruby Red.

AROMA: A powerful nose that jumps out of the glass. It is complex and evolves as its given time to open up in the glass. Up front there are savoury notes of bay leaf and juniper. These open up to rich dark berries, blackberries and sweet blueberries and a hint of violets.

PALATE: This wine is intense and complex. Like the nose, it will keep evolving in the glass as you're enjoying it. Blackberries and sweet blueberries are in abundance with the same savoury flavours combining with spice notes, especially cinnamon and nutmeg. The French oak adds a lovely layer of cedar, mocha and vanilla. The tannins are powerful, yet very fine grain and soft. Underneath there is a refreshing acid balance, which combine with the tannins to give this wine a beautifully textured line through the palate and gives length on the finish so the wonderful flavours linger on. With 70% new French oak. This wine is just a baby and whilst drinking beautifully now, with careful cellar maturation for 15 year or more.

Vivino Score: 4.1
