2012 Ryder Cabernet Sauvignon

Ryder is Reilly’s entry level brand that aims to deliver great value everyday drinking. Both the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are sourced from Reilly’s St. Clare vineyard located at Leasingham which was planted in 2000. Previously fruit from this vineyard had been sold to the likes of Tim Adams and Fosters. The Cabernet Sauvignon is matured for 18 months in French oak hogsheads.

A Killer Value Cabernet that delivers a plethora of flavour.
Outstanding colour saturation for a red at this price point displaying a totally opaque inky black dark red core and deep dark red black hue. Aromas of blackcurrant and mulberry intermingle with a hint of mint followed by some subtle cedar. Although youthful, the palate delivers amazing palate presence for it’s miserly price with rich mouthfilling flavours of blackcurrant, ripe dark mulberry, a touch of mint and subtle spicy cedar. Fine grained tannins with just enough grip to assert themselves and provide some structure. Medium to long ripe blackcurrant, light mint and spicy cedar aftertaste.
Cellar 2-3 years (2015-2016).
Alc 14.5%
