St Hugo Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

St Hugo Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 represents the Barossa Valley’s classic, age-worthy style—dense dark fruit, integrated oak, and refined tannins. A full-bodied Cab with depth and structure that rewards cellaring, yet enjoyable now with proper decanting. Pairs well with grilled beef, lamb, and aged cheeses. Tasting Notes Appearance: Deep garnet. Nose: Blackcurrant and blackberry with plum notes; tobacco leaf, cedar, vanilla, and subtle spice. Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated; cassis and dark fruit drive the middle, layered with dark chocolate and espresso hints. Firm, yet refined tannins; integrated oak; balanced acidity. Finish: Long and persistent, with a tobacco/cedar echo and a touch of smokiness.
