Arumdale
St Andrew 2006
(Cab 60% Merlot 30% Shiraz 10%)
Reflecting a specific collection of ARUMDALE’S vineyards, this wine, from the
moment of the first whiff of the freshly opened bottle, shows the elegantly
gentle nose, of a patiently ripened harvest. There is a notable freshness and
“up-front”, ripe sense of the fruit, which rounds off beautifully. The velvety
Arumdale Cab. portion can be recognised in the layers of fine structure. This
is Arumdale’s “Rolls Royce”, finely designed, beautifully structured. Only in
the coolness of Arumdale’s location, and in it’s particular
terroir, is it possible to produce a wine of this smoothness, whilst showing
such up-front fruit, and elegantly rich character. An entertaining complexity,
with a clean and mouth-watering finish.
