St Ignatius 2002

41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 11% Malbec, 13% Cabernet Franc

The nose is full of berries, cherries, spice and earthy Cabernet characters. This is backed up by the palate which is full of lifted fruit, blackberries and plum from the Cabernets with spice from the Malbec creeping through. A complex wine, with firm tannins, well balanced oak and acids which lead to a long, lingering finish. A great accompaniment to a tender steak or rich casserole. Cellar this one for 6-10 years to fully enjoy all it has to offer.
