At its core, the 2007 vintage offers a rich, round mouthfeel that plays a supporting role to the exuberant aromas of ripe red plum. From there, it gives way to nuances of butterscotch and roasted coconut, with a sprinkling of fleur de sel, that taunts the palate even as the suave and elegant structure caresses it. Exuberant yet sophisticated, this wine derives from the Torguga vineyard, one of the few north-facing locations planted with the Baccus clone that has brought some of the most luscious Cabernet Sauvignons to the estate. A commanding wine in its own right, the 2007 Gaston is worthy of a simple pairing of dark chocolate and roasted nuts.
