2009 South Eastern Australia Cabernet Sauvignon

Normans Holbrooks Road Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2009 vintage showcases the exquisite characteristics of South Eastern Australia. This captivating red wine presents a full-bodied structure, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate depth and richness in their glass. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the overall freshness and vibrancy of the wine. Expressive dark fruit notes, particularly blackcurrant and plum, dominate the palate, delivering a prominent fruit intensity that is both inviting and complex. The tannins are notably firm, providing a solid backbone that supports the wine's bold character. As a delightful touch, this Cabernet Sauvignon is dry, allowing the flavors to shine without any sweetness, making it a wonderful companion for hearty dishes or enjoyed on its own.

South Eastern Australia

Covering the entire southeastern third of the country, the South Eastern Australia designation is a vast area (over 1,200 miles long and encompassing the regions of South Australia, New South Wales and Tasmania). Many of Australia's best wines are made here. From the stunning Shiraz produced around Adelaide to the luscious Sémillons of the Hunter Valley, and from the fragrant Pinot Noirs of Tasmania to the lush Chardonnay of Riverina, nearly every grape variety and wine style flourishes in South Eastern Australia, basking in the sun-kissed Mediterranean climate and rich, varied soils.
