The Howard Park Leston wines carry the Howard Park label and therefore are sourced from only the highest regarded vineyards and are given extraordinary attention in the vineyard. Canopy management is designed to maximise fruit exposure to the sunlight and yields are low to achieve flavour and colour concentration with harvest determined according to flavour with little regard for analytical data.

Its bouquet is intense and intriguing led by the ripe blackcurrants, violets and leafy forest floor with dusty and savoury undertones, inviting and opulent but brooding in its youth.

The oak is background cedar which will recede further as the fruits emerge with some bottle age. This wine personifies intense fleshy and full mid palate Cabernet with rich fruit weight with blackcurrant and earthy flavours. The 2007 Leston shows rare fruit sweetness, well integrated oak and generous open knit gravelly textured tannins. A classic Margaret River Cabernet from a great year.

Dark red to black colour.
