Water Wheel Cabernet Sauvignon gentilini but Downer chose a mixAged in French oak including new barriques and older puncheons. Opaque black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Nosing reveals red currant and mulberry aromas which are trailed by light dusty cedar, tobacco and bay leaf notes. Medium bodied red to black currant and mulberry fruits grace the elegant palate with subtle cedary tobacco and earthy dried herb characters lying underneath. Grainy tannins with a medium length aftertaste.
