Shingleback D Block Reserve Cabernet 2005
	Gold Mundus Vini International Wine Awards + the 2006 Jimmy Watson Winner. A spectacular red wine fashioned from a small batch of superlative Cabernet berries with intense fruit flavours, out of an outstanding McLaren Vale vintage. Brothers Kym and John Davey planted their family vineyard in the Willunga Basin, on land acquired by their grandfather in 1959. Within a small niche, the soil, climate and vines combine to create something special - the fruit that is ultimately hand-crafted to become D Block Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon McLaren Vale Currently out of stock
	Each $56.99 Dozen $683.88	If there is one word to describe the 2005 vintage, it is fruitful. Gentle hand working of the skins in small, five tonne open fermenters and traditional winemaking practices protect and nurture the unique qualities of the terroir. Very fine grained French oak hogsheads are used to allow a long, slow maturation of the wine and subtle oak integration. A combination of new and one year old barrels, crafted by select coopers to our requirements, are used to create nuances and diversity of flavour. When maturation and oak integration are perfect, individual barrels are selected and blended to create the fruit power, complexity and harmonious balance that is Shingleback D Block Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Approx 14.0%
	Deep garnet with inky depths. Blueberry, violet and hazelnut nuances overlie concentrated cassis, blackberry and dark chocolate aromas. The promise of the nose explodes on the palate with ripe, dark berries and voluptuous, textured tannins. A full bodied, structured cabernet sauvignon with a ripe, fleshy, mouthfilling, spicey finish, that expresses the synergy of this noble variety, the terroir, and the winemaker's individuality. "Made in very small quantities, this exceptional quality Cabernet displays smooth cassis and cashew nut aromas, soft blackcurrant frut and fine well integrated tannins. Smooth rich and concentrated!" -Raisinsocial.net
