The 2013 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon hails from a warmer year that was responsible for some wines across the region that are typified by a buxom outlay of rich, ripe fruit. The last days of 2012 got hail and storms, and the marri blossoms were profuse. The season then cooled off during March and April, which the Cabernet benefited from. Houghton-selection clone make up the dry-grown block 8 and block 9 sites. In the mouth, the wine is firm and black, spicy and almost brooding (brooding were it heavy or dense, which it is not). You get cassis and bramble, black pepper and blackberry, cedar, bay leaf, peppercorns and tobacco, with star anise, a hint of pipe resin, and graphite and iodine to boot. It's really good. Sealed under screw cap.
