2005 John Zilm Cabernet Sauvignon

Aged completely in new French oak, the spectacular 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon John Zilm boasts a black/purple color along with superb notes of creme de cassis, cedar, spice box, and subtle new oak. Full-bodied, rich, and beautifully balanced with fresh acidity as well as ripe tannin, this gorgeous Cabernet displays the terrific potential of this varietal in South Australia. Consume it over the next 10-15 years. Oct 2006, www.robertparker.com
