Tasting notes
The 2008 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon presents a very deep garnet-purple color and earthy notes of loam and moss covered bark over warm black currant and blueberries, lavender and cloves. Full-bodied and ripe, it has crisp acid and medium-firm fine tannins. The finish is long with lingering notes of cloves and coffee. Drink it 2014 to 2020.

Inky ruby. Complex aromas of dark berries, bitter chocolate, smoke, licorice and botanical herbs, plus an element of oak spice. Suave, supple and sweet, with good fleshiness and persistence to the subtle cherry and cassis flavors. Tannins build with air and add grip to the broad, sappy finish. This is showing a lot now but its structure tells me that it deserves at least five years of bottle aging.
