Sweet liquorice and black berry fruit aromas with underlying hints of vanilla from well integrated oak. The palate illustrates elegance and length with dark plum fruit and cashew along with a smokey oak influence. There is a lot of complexity of flavours and mid palate richness. Soft full tannins fill the mouth and an aftertaste of mint and French oak underline the moreish finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from vineyard blocks not far from those that go into Songlines and the fruit has been specifically hand chosen for its approachability as a young wine. 2016 saw the selection of some older material as part of the blend to add some more complex character and longevity. The winemaking uses warmer ferments in traditional open fermenters with plunging 3 times each day to soften the palate, and the use of older barrels to impart less oak dominance. The wine is matured for 12 months in second and some third use French barrels to provide softer and rounder oak characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/b\u003e 14%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e McLaren Vale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/b\u003e Drink now or cellar over the next 4-6 years \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAwards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7174%;\"\u003e2016 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.7464%;\"\u003eCWSA 2017 - DOUBLE GOLD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2016 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWine Showcase Magazine 2017 - GOLD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2016 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWine Showcase Magazine - 93 POINTS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2016 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoyal Adelaide Wine Show 2017 - Award Winner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2013 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCWSA 2015 Best Value - DOUBLE GOLD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2013 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWine Showcase Magazine, July 2015 - 92 POINTS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Secure Checkout","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46883031515374,"sku":"6828","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/9152\/6638\/files\/Songlines-Estates-Bylines-McLaren-Vale-Cabernet-Sauvignon-200x600.png?v=1756789623","url":"https:\/\/pww-secure-checkout.myshopify.com\/products\/songlines-estates-bylines-mclaren-vale-cabernet-sauvignon-2016","provider":"Secure Checkout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
