Leeuwin 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon ‘Prelude’
After an extensive search in 1972 to identify the most suitable Australian area for the production of premium varietal wines, Robert Mondavi singled out a small plot of land in the Margaret River region. At the time a cattle farm, Leeuwin Estate evolved under the direction of owners Denis and Tricia Horgan, with Mondavi acting as consultant and mentor.
Today, the Estate is recognized as one of Australia’s leading wine producers and wine tourism destination.
Featured three times as “International Winery of the Year” by U.S. Wine & Spirits Magazine, the wines of Leeuwin Estate consistently rank alongside the world’s finest.
“92 points. — Leeuwin’s characteristic elegance and approachability, combined with ageability, are in full force here. Trademark pencil lead, eucalyptus and red currant characters mingle with dried flowers, herbs and furniture polish. The tannins are dusty and tight-grained, with an herbaceous currant flavor continuing throughout. Drink now–2032.”
