{"product_id":"1998-rockford-cabernet-sauvignon","title":"1998 Rockford Cabernet Sauvignon","description":"\u003cp\u003eWriting directly to consumer by way of back label, winemaker and Rockford founder and head honcho Robert O'Callaghan tells us \"Cabernet Sauvignon can be a bit mean and lean for me\". An interesting choice of opener for a wine he is presumably proud enough to put his label on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"...this wine is a chance to show how a region combined with the winemaker's philosophy can have a real impact on the kind of wine made from this variety.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe's not wrong either. Rockford's house style of powerful but elegant wines shows itself as much in this bottle as any other from the estate. Using extremely ripe grapes and two years in a combination of French and American oak, O'Callaghan has made a powerful and rich wine with a great earthy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The kind of wine I like to drink,\" his blurb concludes. Us too Robert.
