Amato Vino Cabernet Nebbiolo 2018 Western Australia Margaret River
Amato Vino Cabernet Nebbiolo 2018 Western Australia Margaret RiverAmato Vino Cabernet Nebbiolo 2018 – Cloudy red colour. On the nose aromatic florals and minerality from the Nebbiolo lead to a core of Cabernet-esque blackcurrant, graphite oak, dark chocolate. Tobacco leaf and mocha adding to the mix. Medium bodied yet with some density to go with the finesse. Spicy red/blue fruits, coconut and star anise meld with the dark fruits. A potpourri of exotics.
The palate shows satsuma plum and eastern spices. The creamy mouthfeel is generous and inviting, soft acid and gentle tannin assisting. Briary red/black-fruits to lead to a long finish.
Drink with rich/rare red meats, hearty stews, tomato-based pasta and pizza.

“…..The bouquet and palate sing from precisely the same part of the same page, cassis, cedar, redcurrant and oak spice all in tune with each other; the tannins are fine, gently savoury, and are now embedded in the fruit, not needing to defend their position.” James Halliday Wine Companion 2015

Canobolas Smith Alchemy 2009 New South Wales Orange
Canobolas Smith Alchemy 2009 New South Wales OrangeCanobolas Smith Alchemy 2009 – Alchemy can be considered as a transformation from a lower to a higher state. From lead to gold, grapes to wine, four young Liverpudlians to the Beatles, it is continually occurring. Alchemy is a blend of the best barrels of the vintage to create a wine that surpasses the individual components. It is not produced in all vintages. Cabernet Sauvignon provides dark forest berries, structure and length. Cabernet Franc contributes a lot of perfumed aromas, red-fruit characters and chocolate and Shiraz adds spice, pepper and vibrancy. With these components the wines show a wonderful completeness, with elegance, complexity and length. Like our Chardonnay this wine also ages incredibly well, maintaining its youth well beyond 10-15 years of age.

This well structured wine will age well over the next 10 years.
