Tasting Notes
The 2009 release of Terre à Terre Cabernet is a classic example of Cabernet Sauvignon from the South East, with a very elegant “oak twist”. Exemplary aromas of blackcurrant juice with scents of sage and five spice then lead to a very structured mouthfeel and firm tannin on the finish. Very French in style.
Andrew Graham: "The real deal. Such attention to detail makes this wine... Lovely vibrant voilet/red colour...vibrant on the nose too... Dry and juicy with excellent grainy tannins make this a really attractive style. Excellent tannins. Long and poignant, with a whole other realm of balance and tannins compared to any other wine in this lineup. Should get even better with age too. 17.9/92+
