2008 Howard Park Leston Cabernet Sauvignon Reviews

“...deep garnet-purple colour and aromas of warm blackberry, cinnamon bark and pencil shavings. With a very drinkable medium body it has a medium level of fine tannins, medium to high acid and a long pure finish.”

“Howard Park Cabernet is stronger than ever at all levels this year. Leston shows definitive Margaret River Cabernet character, edging closer to Abercrombie. With graphite-fine tannins, it's a great value cellaring special.”
