The 2007 Leston Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense dark red to black colour of great intensity. Its bouquet is intense and intriguing led by the ripe blackcurrants, violets and leafy forest floor with dusty and savoury undertones, inviting and opulent but brooding in its youth. Behind the primary fruits are distinctive vineyard characteristics of dark chocolate and warm earth and leaf litter. The oak is background cedar which will recede further as the fruits emerge with some bottle age. This wine personifies intense fleshy and full mid palate Cabernet with rich fruit weight with blackcurrant and earthy flavours. The 2007 Leston shows rare fruit sweetness, well integrated oak and generous open knit gravelly textured tannins. A classic Margaret River Cabernet from a great year.
