Another of the Rosenthal Wines sourced from that Riversdale Vineyard; wow, what a fruit source to have access to. Yes, it’s cabernet but there is that vineyard ironstone character that emerges through the varietal notes. It carries typical plum and blackcurrant cabernet characters with a subtle savoury oak. Dry, savoury bay leaf and sagebrush aromas on the nose then thread through to the palate creating a tremendous expression of vineyard and place.
