A Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated Bordeaux blend, the deep garnet/purple-colored 2012 Larose presents a nose of cassis, ripe black plums and black cherries with suggestions of cigar box, cedar, bay leaves and toast. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound at this youthful stage, though gives plenty of blackberry and toasty flavors wrapped in a medium level of finely grained tannins and refreshing acidity. It finishes with very good length. Drink it 2014 to 2024+. Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Stonyridge - Larose - Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Malbec Petit Verdot Cabernet Franc Carmenere - 2012 - 750mL
2012 was a very long ripening season. We started later and finished later than ever
before in the history of winemaking at Stonyridge. This gave the fruit good hang-time to develop maximum flavour potential. Extensive vendange verte (green harvest), especially on our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, post fruit set gave us great concentration and dry extract in the resulting wine. During the harvest period, the
weather was ideal, allowing us to pick fruit at optimal ripeness and balance.
The 2012 Larose shows great intensity and purity. Dark, wild, brambly berry fruit with freshly ground cinnamon and cardamon underpinned with cedar, pencil shavings and vanilla from the 55% new oak component make for a complex and intriguing nose. On the palate, 2012 Larose at this tender age is taut and firm with wonderful length, an underlying generosity of sweet fruit promises excellent cellaring potential. This wine matches well with steak and other red meats.

How many wines are in each Lot?

Is there a Guarantee on my wine?
Under Australian law, consumer guarantees do not apply to goods purchased at auction - all such purchases are at the risk of the Buyer.
