Jock's Cabernet Sauvignon

Bright ruby coloured wine with a mint bouquet. This is a full-flavoured wine with a fleshy, fruit-laden palate full of rich, ripe berry fruits. The grapes for this Cabernet were picked and crushed during the cool of night, thus ensuring the retention of varietal character, while modern winemaking techniques were employed throughout, all of which help to create the signature McPherson Cabernet style. This wine was aged on French oak for approximately 8 months, giving the wine a noticeable, but not an excessive, oak influence.

A jack of all trades, Jock McPherson had a wild and varied career as a writer, soldier, fisherman, publisher and PR man. His passion however, was winemaking. He planted his first vineyard in 1968, eventually passing it on to his only son Andrew.

Try this wine with a hearty barbecued steak, or a rich, spicy tomato based pasta dish such as Spaghetti Bolognaise or Lasagne.
