RockBare Click '99 Cabernet Sauvignon is McLaren Vale, the birthplace of wine in South Australia. Its Mediterranean climate and proximity to the ocean means this region receives a cooling effect from winds. Cabernet Sauvignon shines from cooler sites which are ideal for producing full-bodied, classically expressive Cabernets such as this.
Tasting Note: Bold ruby red in colour. The nose is ultra-appealing with blueberry, black current and hints of tobacco leaves and capsicum. The palate is rich featuring black current, savoury and chalky tannin. The finish is gently spiced with a delectable cigar box toastiness.
"It's splendidly expressed on the nose, showing aromas of blackcurrant, thyme, cured meat, and hazelnut, leading to a succulent palate that's plump and flavoursome. Well-framed by fine, grainy tannins, it is sturdy and structured, with a fine, dry finish."
