2005 Cornerstone, Cab/Merlot/Malbec Newton Forrest
Extravagant, cassis-rich blend with aromas of dark chocolate, cherry liqueur, damsons and spicy oak. Youthful, the palate is full, with excellent depth and richness of sweet chocolate/mocha.
Cabernet Sauvignon (43%), Merlot (35%), Malbec (22%). 2005 produced good ripening conditions with a warm summer and dry autumn. Harvest began in late March, & he three varietals were hand picked, fermented separately in small 3-tonne open fermenters, hand plunged and allowed varying periods of post-fermentation skin contact prior to pressing off the wine for malolactic fermentation and ageing in a mix of French (70%) and American (30%) oak barriques.
