Mischa Wine Information
Eventide Cabernet Sauvignon 2002
Winemaker's comments
Dark and dense in colour. The nose reveals some blackcurrant fruit with hints of eucalyptus Ant mint following through to the intense fruitiness on the palate. Matured in 80% new French oak 20% 2nd fill french oak for 12 months. The high alcohol level provides a rounded, smooth mouthfeel, while the firm, well-balanced tannin structure promises long aging potential. To be enjoyed soon, but will reach full development in three year €™s time.This wine is made form a selected vineyard block, is unfiltered and unfined.
