Information & Tasting Notes
Produced from a dry-farmed, 80 year old vineyard, the 2002 cabernet sauvignon Ashmead is sensational. Its inky/purple colour is followed by a big, sweet nose of vanillin, spice box, cedar, blackcurrants and flowers. Aged in a combination of 60% American and 40% French oak, it possesses supple tannin, concentrated fruit notes, and a well-delineated, pure, long finish. This young, promising cabernet requires 2-3 more years of bottle age; it should last 15 or more". Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
