Dense velvet red in the glass. Dark fruit, chocolate and black currant develops into a typical rich, soft fruit driven palate with excellent length and soft supple tannins, great depth and a complex yet elegant structure.
Rated 92 "Ripe and welcoming, a smooth, lithe red that offers black cherry, raspberry, mint, and licorice flavors... The flavors linger impressively..." Wine Spectator, September 15, 2004
Rated 91 "Bold strokes of cabernet richness and shiraz spice form the core of this rich, intense blend... One of the top selections from Wolf Blass..." Wine & Spirits, October 2004

Wolf Blass Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz 2002
Region: Barossa Valley
Winery: Wolf Blass
Variety: Blend (Red)

54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Shiraz. A firm, fine-grained and tight-knit blend based on vibrant and deeply flavoured cabernet and shiraz fruit. Its smoky, lightly meaty aromas of cassis, sweet plums and mocha/chocolate oak are backed by minty undertones of violets and menthol. Fine and silky, it’s long, willowy and charming, presenting a purity of fruit rare for this vintage. With a fleshy, creamy texture framed by bony tannins, it offers genuine elegance and refinement – hardly qualities recently attributable to this label. Cellar: 5-15 years.
