Kilikanoon, South Australia (Australia) Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Mar 25, 2012

By Gerald D. Boyd

 Killerman was a legendary Claire Valley squatter who planted vines in a plot adjacent to Kilikanoon.  This blend of grapes from select South Australia vineyards was aged for 20 months in new and older French oak barrels.  The color is a deep ruby with a black core, and the aromas show signs of dark chocolate and blackberry.  It has ripe choco-berrry flavors, firm tannins, good texture, 14.5% alcohol and a medium finish with no heat.
