Brown Brothers Patricia Cabernet Sauvignon 750mL

The 2016 Patricia Cabernet Sauvignon is an inky dark purple colour with rich aromas of blackcurrant and dried herbs, while the French oak influence offers a gentle ‘cigar box lift’ to the nose. On the palate the wine has powerful dark berry fruit, spice and hints of nutmeg driven by a warm vintage. It has persistant length and is well structured with ripe flavours and a seamless elegant finish. The Patricia Cabernet Sauvignon has already received two and a half years bottle age to soften and integrate its characters and will continue to improve over the next 6-8 years in the cellar. Fruit for the 2016 Patricia Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from several vineyards in Victoria. The Bendigo region makes up 52%, along with the King Valley at 28%, Great Western 13% and Wrattonbully 7% to round out the blend of outstanding vineyards. The fruit was harvested in early March 2016 at a baumé level of 14.2 to 14.6. The wine was destemmed and crushed to open top fermenters in the Kindergarten Winery. The wine spent 18 months in 42% new, and the balance older French oak barriques. A number of blending trials took place to produce a very intense and powerful wine from a low yielding vines. The wine was bottled with an alcohol of 14.5%.
