Description

2012 Houghton Jack Mann Cabernet Sauvignon 750mlOne word legend. Jack Mann served Houghton for a remarkable 51 consecutive vintages. His determination to create wines of intensity, elegance and regional character have inspired a generation of Australian winemakers to achieve great things. Simply one of this country's greatest Cabernets, this wine is not just single vineyard fruit, the selection process is so rigorous that often it is just a few rows from the Justin Vineyard. Such is the reverence

If Pat Carmody can’t make great shiraz

is enough to broaden the wine on the palate and the acidic lemon and lime found in the R0 give way to the sweeter versions of the fruit

PALATELuscious plum

Very mouth-filling and interesting

with graphite and mineral like complexity from granite and schist soils in the Eden Valley

It's the overall juicy freshness and elegance that define this wine and its terroir

There’s a little meatiness too

The floral characteristics shine alongside brambly fruit and soft savory

"Bunch-sorted on vibrating tables

showcasing a new side to Coonawarra and Riesling

fruit notes of fresh apple gather with the distinct autumnal flavoursof Pittyvaich

it delivers both immediate drinking pleasure and long-term cellaring potential
