Pepper Tree Wines Platinum 2016 "PJP' Single Vineyard Wrattonbully Cabernet Sauvignon

Kindly donated by Pepper Tree Wines

This wine is the result of hard graft in an unforgiving patch of dirt located in Wrattonbully. Three men had the vision to elevate the fruit quality of the vineyard based on tireless research into soil and site. Hailing from the auspicious 2016 vintage, Winemaker Gwyn Olsen selected the best 11 barrels from our Block 21A Cabernet Sauvignon – enough to make 270 dozen only. A rare wine indeed.

Aromas of dark fruits with enticing blackcurrant pastille, hints of olive underpinned by spicy, cedary oak. On the palate it’s full and lithe, pleasantly harmonious and supple. Brooding, brambly fruit intensity with a touch of dark cocoa, structured and immense weight with good depth of tannin. Long spicy and assured with great length and concentration across the finish.
