Wisdom Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
	The Wisdom range draws on the deep knowledge and wise words of one of the nation's founding winemakers, the late great Jack Mann, who asserted that you can exist without wine but you cannot live! Wisdom is vinified from some of the finest parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon to be found in Margaret River. "A stunning wine with vigorous perfumes of blackberry and lozenge, dark currant and cassis. The savouryness of dusty tannins and dried herbs on the finish garnish the perilously flavoursome palate of this flagship Margaret River Cabernet!" -Winemonthly.com.au Margaret River
	Each $29.99 Dozen $359.88	Houghton has long been one of the leading protagonists within the hemisphere of cutting edge West Australian viticulture. Under the guidance and custodianship of many exceptional winemakers, Houghton has flourished and now enjoys an impressive retinue of vineyards across the length and breadth of Margaret River. Houghton retains access to some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon anywhere in the country. The select grapes are harvested at ideal ripeness and vinified in open and small static fermenters with careful plunging of the cap to achieve excellent colour and tannin extraction. Wisdom was then pressed directly to Bordeaux coopered French oak barriques for seventeen months maturation. Alcohol 14.0%
	Brilliant, deep red with garnet hues. The bouquet is intensely aromatic. Lightly herbaceous with tomato leaf, mint and cigarbox complemented by clove, spice and charry notes derived from French oak. The flavoursome palate is rich with plum and cherry fruit characters, complemented by dark chocolate and mocha notes. Firm acidity and fine powdery tannins provide length and structure. A classic example of fine Margaret River Cabernet by one of the nation's most distinguished winemakers. Enjoy alongside barbecued beef, venison steaks and a tarragon red wine braised osso bucco. "A deluxe Cabernet busting out with layer upon layer of buxom fruit, make a point to partake of Wisdom today!" -Ozwinenews.com

[ More info ]
