Mischa Wine Information
Mischa Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1999
Winemaker's comments
Dark and dense in colour. The nose reveals some blackcurrant fruit with hints of spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon following through to the intense fruitiness on the palate. Matured in 100% new French oak for 11 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.
