Hilary Goldschmidt Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

The tasting of this wine is interesting. With no added acid, fining or filtration and also finishing at lower alcohol, this wine is as close to the grape as possible. Rich and powerful à la Oakville we don’t get the “fake sweetness” as we do when the wine is 15% or over. The natural acid means the wine is also in better balance. So this is a wine that is set for ageing. In 10 years this wine will be at its finest but unfortunately most of it will be drunk well in advance of that. Classic aromas of cassis and blueberry fruit mingle with dark chocolate and mocha notes. Full spice and balanced wood. Gives way to a long and supple very balanced wine. Enjoyable whenever you chose to open it.” –Nick Goldschmidt
