Mischa Wine Information
Eventide Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
Winemaker's comments
The nose reveals blackcurrant fruit with hints of eucalyptus and mint underscored by juicy red fruits following through to the intense fruitiness on the palate. A rounded, smooth mouth feel, while the firm, well-balanced tannin structure promises long aging potential. To be enjoyed soon, but will reach full development in 5 years time. This wine is made from a selected vineyard block and was matured for 12 months in a selected tight grain French Oak barrel.
