2002 Bowen Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

" Doug Bowen makes some of the most elegant wines in Australia." Tim Atkin (The Observer)
At Bowen Estate there are 12 individual Cabernet vineyards, which combined produce our 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Each vineyard is hand pruned using an arched cane system pioneered in Coonawarra by Bowen Estate. This system allows ultimate control over quality, ensuring consistency over vintages.
All vineyards are picked separately during the harvest to assess quality and are individually made, finally being blended prior to bottling.
This is a wine of vibrant colour, ripe fruit with hints mulberry, blackberry and dusty oak tannins. Palate medium bodied with good weight and abundance of fruit flavours finishing with velvet smooth tannins. The use of both French and Russian oak gives this wine great complexity and depth whilst showing integrated elegant fruit characters.
