It's minty and bright, with stacks of fresh, live, blueberry fruit with a touch of chocolaty oak from the influence of fine French oak. Extended time in this oak has given this wine the spice and silky tannins that Coonawarra is famous. Beautifully balanced with a long soft finish. Superb Cabernet that will cellar well for another decade.
The 2005 Mamre Brook cabernet sauvignon is full bodied displaying complex aromas of plump, dark berries and chocolate. The palate has a richly layered structure portraying concentrated mulberry and blackberry fruit flavours, fine tannins and excellent length. Enjoy over the next 6 to 8 years.

"The Serafino cabernet sauvignon is a beautifully seductive wine combining power and effortless style and grace with a velvety texture and rich flavours of blackcurrant and lush, minty plum."

Note :
"Classic Coonawarra blackcurrant and mint chocolate aromas with a serious wine's mouth feel at the front of the palate though smart enough to let the berry fruit return and linger while you pick away at the roast lamb leftovers."
