Leeuwin Estate 2002 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon (Margaret River)

Country: Australia / Art Series
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Western Australia
Winery: Leeuwin Estate / Margaret River

Perhaps better known for its Chardonnay, Leeuwin also makes an Art Series Cabernet that takes a back seat to no one. The 2002 still boasts youthful scents of fresh mint and cassis, then slowly unfolds on the palate to reveal a rich, full-bodied wine with a distinctly ripe, creamy texture. Long and powerful on the finish, with 10 or so years ahead of it.
