O'Leary Walker Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
	Low yielding vines in the very different Armagh and Polish Hill River subregions are the cornerstone, restrained winemaking inputs the icing on the cake. Rich, juicy blackcurrant fruit aromas are repeated on the medium-bodied palate, perfectly supported by ripe tannins, quality French oak completing the picture.
