The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is a full bodied style, using fruit produced from 35 year old vines on the Follett family vineyard. Traditional open fermentation was employed with maceration times varying between 7 - 21 days. The wine was matured in French and American oak barriques for 20 months, prior to bottling with minimal filtration.

It displays a complex array of mint, blackcurrant and cedary oak aromas.

These characters are also reflected on the palate, which has silky texture and a wonderfully soft tannin finish. This wine has a cellaring potential of 10 years.
