Description
 
This flagship Cyril Henschke single vineyard Cabernet was named after the Late Cyril Henschke who purchased the Eden Valley property. It now comprises small elements of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Soils are well drained with sandy loams over gravel and patches of clay. Early vintages were partially barrel fermented and matured in American oak. Nowadays the wine - after vinification in headed down open fermenters - completes fermentation and 18 months maturation in 100% new French oak.

The understated, restrained 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Cyril Henschke, an Eden Valley blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, offers notes of red currants, bay leaves, licorice, and dusty, loamy, earthy scents. While medium-bodied and pure, it lacks persistence in the finish. James Halliday 95
