Pre-Sale: O’Dwyer 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon from the O’Dwyer estate is a worthy follow-up to their inaugural release. This wine seems to have a little more intensity and fruit compared to the 2006 vintage, which went over well I have to say. The wine kicks off with an amazing aroma of black stone fruit and a touch […]
