Tasting Notes
The 2019 Enterprise Cabernet opens with a fragrant bouquet of spiced red fruit, olive leaf, and subtle spice. The palate is a classic expression of the Clare Valley, with a medium body and well-integrated French oak that adds complexity. Rich blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and salted licorice flavors unfold alongside nuances of dried herbs and a hint of cigar box. The wine is structured with firm tannins and a vibrant energy that balances the richness of the fruit. Its depth, complexity, and beautiful length make it a wine that will continue to evolve gracefully.
