Pikes Dogwalk Cabernet 2017 750ml

Pikes Dogwalk Cabernet Merlot 2017 750ml 

Pikes is a family-based winery founded in 1984 by Neil and Andrew Pike, and since 1986, has been producing wine, beer and aerated waters. The building is made of steel and stone and is located at Polish Hill River in Clare Valley. Between 1984-and 2003, 75 ha of vineyards were planted. The soils have red-brown earth over the clay, with broken bluestone sub-soil. Whilst the winters are cool and wet and the summers are warm and dry, the growing season has low rainfall and low humidity which makes the vineyard a low risk for pests and disease. The whole vineyard is fitted with an inline drip irrigation system, but irrigation is only applied when necessary.

A blend of the two Cabernets: Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, with Cabernet Sauvignon bringing black fruit power and Franc offering red fruit and tobacco notes.
Deep garnet. Dark berries, wood toast, spice and cedar. Full-bodied with blackcurrant and dark cherry fruit, touches of vanilla bean, bramble and sweet herbs, silken texture and excellent palate length. Drinking close to its peak.

ABV: 13.5%
