2007 Streicker Wines Ironstone Block Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon
This is the first of the Ironstone Cabernet Sauvignons. It is a very pure
expression of Wilyabrup Cabernet from a warm and kind growing season. Aromas of
mulberry, cassis, violets and bay leaves make way for concentrated flavours of
ripe berries, mocha and mineral. The flavours are cradled by savoury tannins,
which complement a succulent acidity. A fine, precise wine, intriguing now for
the brightness and freshness of youth, appealing later after careful cellaring
for complexity and balance.
