BALGOWNIE ESTATE Cabernet Sauvignon 1989

Made by Stuart Anderson. This wine is from a vintage that was very marginal in Southern Victoria. The more tempurate Bendigo region was more successful.

Quite youthful in appearance, deep crimson with just a little brown showing. Lovely plummy nose. Full plummy, blueberry fruit quite elegant with aged complexity, solid tannins and good length. 12.5% alcohol (weren't they all once!). Will hold for some time, 5 - 7 years.
