Attractive ripe fruit nose showing. cassis and blackcurrant aromas provides the characters expected of fine, high quality Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. Sophisticated French oak has contributed cedar like nuances. As the wine matures, expect to see cigar-box complexity with age. The palate has both elegance and richness with fine, long tannins providing finesse and texture. Ripe mulberries permeate the flavour. This is a stylish wine which will age superbly. Leconfield Cabernet Sauvignon has been the flagship of Leconfield since the first release in 1977. Our philosophy is to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon displaying both depth and elegance where oak complexes and enhances the fruit but is not allowed to dominate. The majority of this wine has been barrel fermented in predominantly French oak while the balance of the components had extra time on skins before pressing and oak maturation. Harvest occurred over a relatively short period from the 14th to 22nd April making it the latest vintage since 2004. The yields were quite low and ranged from 5.5-7.5 tonnes/ha. Oak maturation was in a blend of new and used hogsheads with several workings to soften the tannins and fill-out the flavour. The wine received one filtration before bottling on the 10th December 2010. We believe that this 2009 vintage will offer excellent cellaring opportunities over the next decade and beyond.
*What the critics think*
Gold Medal – London International Wine Challenge 2011 Judges Comments - Sweet, creamy oak to the fore. Oozing class. Fabulous glass of wine. Bright fruit, great freshness. Lovely complexity and length.
"Leconfield's flagship Coonawarra red shows rich blackcurrant and cassis on the nose with restrained cedary oak and mulberry on the palate. Try it now with eye fillet or osso bucco but it will benefit from another five to ten years in bottle. $33 - $35. Ask at fine retailers." 93 points.(91-95 Exceptional). Mike Frost - Brisbane Courier Mail 4/03/2011
"A Coonawarra cabernet that's drinking well now and has years of quality cellaring ahead of it if you're patient. The flavours are dense and concentrated, with trademark Coonawarra blackcurrant, mint and leaf. there's also some dark plum and subtle spice on the finish. I tried it with a roast leg of lamb and it went down a treat. Smooth, rich and satisfying. A very good buy at this price." $33 Rick Alan - Parramatta Advertiser March 2011
"The 2008 Leconfield Cabernet Sauvignon was a ripping wine; and a hard act to follow, but winemaker Paul Gordon has come close. A classic Coonawarra red that has some rich fruit along with elegance and impressive structure. Classic cassis flavours, subtle French oak and hints of earthy dust combine on the palate of a very stylish wine that is already enticing in its youth but has many years ahead of it." Price: $34 Windsor Dobbin - Grape Hunter 14 August 2011
"Good red-purple hue; a typical fine and pure Cabernet from 30 year old estate grown vines; blackcurrant with a touch of Coonawarra earth effortlessly drive the bouquet and long, medium-bodied palate; fine tannins and integrated oak complete a high class wine." Rating; 94 points James Halliday - The Australian Wine Companion - 2012
