ALPHA BOX & DICE ICONA CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2017

'We need a special place for the icons. They are venerated examples of how to be; a benchmark for how to strive to reach such levels of glory. There are icons in every industry, standing pretty on their pedestals, a near godlike effigy. Icona is a homage to the icons of McLaren Vale, of which there are many.'

That most venerable of vines, Cabernet Sauvignon, gets pampered in the Willunga foothills. Utopic climate collides with rich, heavy soils that erode from on high, leaving nutrient dense clays that hold water in abundance. The resulting wine is opulent and elegant, a deep garnet tapestry of tannin and dark chocolate. What we imagine they passed around at the Last Supper once the blood of Christ was all poured out.
