2009 Barrett & Barrett Cabernet Sauvignon - 3pack

2009 Barrett & Barrett Cabernet Sauvignon - 3pack

The second vintage produced of Barrett & Barrett Cab. 3 bottles in a wood box.

Updated tasting notes: It presents dense black fruit up front, with some earthiness and Bordeaux-like character too. The aromas have an interesting masculine-feminine push and pull – there is earth and leather, gunpowder tea and a touch of black olive, but also graceful floral and spice notes too. A very complex wine that will present different sides of its character to each person who tastes it. On the palate there is some tannin and grip, yet it is still rich and silky. Drink now or hold 10 years.

From the critics:

From the California Wine Advisors: "Powerful black fruit, cassis, licorice and spice box all intensely revealed on the nose. This 2009 is loaded with personality and tremendous potential." 97 points

From Vinous: "...Surprisingly powerful. Black fruit, cassis, licorice and spice box all jump from the glass in an intense Cabernet full of personality... full-bodied, rich, enveloping". 95+ points" - Antonio Galloni

Tasting Notes
Just looking at this wine you know you are in for something profound it is extremely dark all the way to the edge of the glass, opaque purple red dense color. As one would expect from this low yielding year it’s a bit tight at first, so it needs a couple of good swirls to get up speed. Then you get really intense aromas of Cabernet Sauv; rich black fruits, berry and plum. The nose carries on being very opulent and layered with lots of mineral and cedar. As we expect from this concentrated wine upon release it is very big on the palate, it has massive spicy briary mouth-filling texture. Initially it shows extremely intense cassis, which just expands and coats the mouth & goes on and on. This vineyard always expresses a spicy character like 5 spice & cardamom & cedar; but in this ’09 it’s incredibly concentrated. The finish is lengthy and returns to be dominated with the persistent cassis extract theme. The care with which we grew and made this wine is evident all the way through, from the distinctive vineyard character to the elegant stylish winemaking reflecting the mighty 2009 vintage.
