2006 Tim Adams Cabernet Malbec

“(…).  Tim’s first cabernet malbec blend was from the 2003 vintage and had just 10 per cent Malbec; he increased this to 11 per cent with the 2004 vintage, 14 per cent in 2004, and its now 20 per cent in the 2006.

The 20 per cent has given this wine wonderful complexity on the palate as Malbec does very well in the Clare, and is a natural foil for the Valley’s exceptional Cabernet Sauvignons.  This one is loaded with fresh blackcurrant, violet and oak flavours; at $30 enjoy with oxtail beef ragu and gnocchi.”
