Shingleback, D-Block Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, McLaren Vale, South Australia 2005
The 2006 winner of Australia's prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy for best one-year-old red, this baby of a wine is now starting to show what it's made of. Fine but firm tannins, intense, smokey, leathery blackberry fruit with eucalyptus freshness. Great balance and concentration with a long life ahead.
