5 Star Value Rating:      Rating: 95/100 Category: Red Wines Case Size: 6 bottles Year: 2008 Jack's Comments: An absolute stella wine. Bursting with flavors. Everything you want in a Cabernet Sauvignon. Does everything right up until the very end with outstanding oak balance. It is worth every penny and you really should do yourself a favor! Limited numbers of this wine so be quick and don't miss out! Winemaker's Comments: Majella is famous for the production of high class Cabernet Sauvignons and this wine is no exception!
The 2008 Vintage was quite a warm one and this is evidenced by the intense fruit characteristics of this wine.
It’s deep, dark red in colour with very vibrant purple hues. Herbal mint and berries show up on the nose with hints of eucalyptus and “vanillin” oak.
The palate is rich with ripe dark-fruits and well weighted, grainy tannins. As ever the finish is long and lingering, and it is certainly a wine that will stand the test of time.
The grapes for this wine were harvested in early April and vinified at our winery here in Coonawarra. The ferment was kept quite cool and after about 6 days the wine was transferred to French oak barrels (300 lire, 50% new oak) to finish its fermentation. MLF occurred in the barrel and the wine was further aged in oak for another 22 months or so. Blend: 100 % Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Coonawarra, South Australia Cellaring Potential: Drink now or up to 12 - 14 years Awards/Trophies: “…this is one of the most accurate and enjoyable Cabernets of the year.” Matthew Jukes Top 100 Australia Wines.
