Description

A gorgeous melding of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc here from the much-heralded Crawford River estate.

Cabernet does exceedingly well in this part of Henty, with the structure and density to age many years before it reaches its peak. The addition of the Cabernet Franc to this blend by winemaker Belinda Thomson sees the addition of enticing aromatics, just busting out of the glass.

It's an easy wine to like, and indeed love. Plenty of ripe, open fruit character, the typical tobacco and leafy notes that show in these varieties placed front and centre. It's a wine for now, or for some years down the track, depending on your preference.

    Refined and Easy to Drink despite relatively young age

    Young cabernet like this has no business being so good.

    Fragrant, with earth and spicy notes. Easy to drink with fine tannins and low acidity.

    V good

    Black fruits, dried herbs, touch mossy but great rib eye compliment.

Bright and fresh with an undeniable, macerated raspberry and fresh blueberry overtone. There is purity and integrity with plenty of fruit flavour and soft tannins. Juicy, cherry flavours and bright acidity make this wine a delicious drink with a medium frame and terrific length and balance

Crawford River

Crawford River is very much a family operation. The talented Thomson clan have been producing wine from their beautiful home vineyard since 1985.

The Bordeaux varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc thrive on the estate, but it's Riesling that they are most famous for.

They produce a range of styles of varying ages that are outstanding. Many consider them as one of the country's premier producers of the noble variety.

These are wines of purity and elegance. Small-batch, family-owned, traditional winemaking and good, honest farming is at the core of everything Crawford River does.

Belinda and John Thomson - Henty, VIC Crawford River
