Cumulus Climbing Cabernet Sauvignon (Winemaker Debbie Lauritz, Orange NSW) is likely to deliver a refined cool-climate Cabernet: deep garnet-ruby, with aromas of cassis, dark berries and leafy cedar. Expect blackcurrant and plum flavours, shaded by graphite hints, forest floor and subtle dark chocolate. The palate should be medium-full, with firm, polished tannins, fresh acidity and a clean mineral undercurrent reflective of high altitude soils. Oak will be supportive, not overwhelming, lending gentle spice and structure. Likely to drink beautifully now through 5-7 years as it unfolds.
