What to DrinkSandalford Classic Dry White 2009 93/100 Cab Sav Comes of AgeThe Prendiville family has created the financial framework and company infrastructure at their Swan Valley Sandalford winery that allows marvelous things to happen. Super SavSandalford Prendiville Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 is our wine this week. From the best of the 35-year-old cabernet blocks of Sandalford's 120ha of vines and from the 20 best barriques from a marvelous vintage from them, Sandalford has selected only 500 dozen of their finest cabernet base material to give Rolls-Royce treatment for this stunner. Premium Sandalford no drama for PaulThe wine is an extraordinary statement of the best in Margaret River cabernet sauvignon WA's best cab savsHow good are West Australian cabernets? It is traditional for West Australians to be parochial about all things, and so, with this in mind, should we be taking out self-congratulations about the quality of our cabernet sauvignon with a grain of salt? Hitting the heightsNothing makes as much sense as aspiring to produce outstanding wine and achieving this goal must then be a source of enormous satisfaction. The wine making team at Sandalford should then be well satisfied with the release of its new super premium 2002 The Prendiville Cabernet Sauvignon.
