Deep ruby. Peppery red berry and cherry aromas are complicated by musky tobacco and underbrush. Light red fruit flavors are a bit tough, with firm tannins and a gentle finishing bitterness adding grip. Could use more flesh but offers easy, up-front appeal.

Score 87/100 · Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, Oct 2007

The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon “Blocks Road” was sourced from two older vineyards with yields of less than 1.5 tons per acre and was aged in French oak, 40% new. It offers aromas of menthol and mint along with earth, pencil lead, and black currant. This is followed by a structured wine which finishes just a bit lean and compact. It may blossom with 6-8 years in the cellar but that is a gamble. Kilikanoon’s winemaker is the talented Kevin Mitchell. The house specialty is Shiraz but Mitchell does equally well with Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache. Importers: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel.
