Patricia Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Brown Brothers
Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
This brilliant back-vintage release has been aged for over 10 years; maturing in oak to enhance the bold, fruit-forward flavours characteristic to Cabernet Sauvignon, whilst achieving a smooth, well-structured profile and graceful finish. In paying homage to our family's matriarch, the Patricia range is a culmination of the very best in viticulture and winemaking.
Pair this bold red wine with slow-cooked lamb shoulder accompanied by Mediterranean vegetables and a flavoursome juniper berry sauce. For a delightful finish to a meal, it also complements a selection of aged Parmesan and Pecorino cheeses.

Winestate •
Smoky aged fruit bouquet with some minty brightness. A full and complex palate still showing some primary fruit and firm tannins. Travelling well.
4.5 / 5 Stars
The wine underwent destemming and crushing before being fermented in tanks. Small, carefully chosen batches were nurtured at the Kindergarten Winery. Aging took place for 17 months in a combination of new (62%), 1-year-old (11%), and older French oak barrels. Multiple blending experiments were conducted to create a highly concentrated and robust wine from low-yielding vines. The final product was bottled with a pH of 3.55, and an acidity level of 6.5g/L.
