The Howard Park Scotsdale 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.

This wine displays blackberry and mulberry fruits with forest floor like herbal aromas so typical of top Mt Barker Cabernet. There are chocolate and mocha characters supporting the clean fruit.

The palate is dense and concentrated yet soft and elegant with focussed sweet fruit flavours. There are dark chocolate and dark berries on the palate of rare power and intensity. A firm structure gives backbone to the plush fruit and mouthfilling tannins are silky and supple. Aging will benefit this wine full of youthful potential.
