About Kooyonga Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 750ML
Kooyonga Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackcurrant and dark plum, underscored by subtle hints of cedar and dried herbs. On the palate, this South Australian Cabernet delivers a generous core of cassis and blackberry fruit, framed by well-integrated oak and a touch of dark chocolate. The tannins are firm yet polished, lending structure without austerity. A medium-weight wine with good concentration and a classic varietal character that reflects the warm, sun-drenched conditions of its vintage.
