Tasting Notes

2006 Howlin' Gale Cabernet Sauvignon                                  STELVIN


We are very excited to announce that the 2006 Cabernet won “Top of the Class” at the 2008 Melbourne Wine Show.

It won a Gold Medal with 56.0 points (out of 60) in Class 51 – Full Bodied Red (Wines with Character , Interest & Charm RRP $15 to $25).

 

This wine is Full bodied, concentrated and deep-welled with oak sweetness.  It and has rich textures and volatility to produce a full mouth fill.  It still possesses the classic Langhorne Creek subtle softness on the palette.

 

It should be noted that it picked up a bronze in the earlier 2008 Adelaide Wine Show.

 

In true Aussie fashion…………..”YOU CAN GO FOR GOLD WITH THIS ONE
 

2006 Howlin' Gale "Force 10" Reserve Shiraz                           STELVIN


This wine is another cracker. It is rounded and balanced and has appreciated its sleeping time of 2 years in a combination of European & American fine oak.

 

The oak and fruit have integrated magnificently and this wine should continue to develop for years.

 

All the fruit from a single vineyard has classic shiraz overtones and the experts were extolling its virtues awarding it a high Silver Medal at the 2008 Melbourne Wine Show (53.5 points).

 

With a helpful tip……….”GET A GALE INTO YA TO BLOW THE FINANCIAL BLUES AWAY
