Cabernet Sauvignon

South West Victoria.  Wonderful dark plum and mulberry fruit couple with liquorice and baking spices on the nose. This is followed with more luscious black fruits on the palate, together with cedar and alluring cassia bark overtones. The tannins are fine and soft, lending synergy between fruit and French oak together with structure that delineates and defines the palate...

Pyrenees, Victoria. Very dark red-black. The nose is beautiful, showing cedar pencil shavings, violets and dark chocolate. On the palate there is both sweet and sour with the luscious black berry fruit and the acid balancing the ripe and fine grainy tannins. A very masculine cabernet, beautifully structured and integrated with the specially chosen Taraunsaud oak from Bordeaux. It speaks of the Dalwhinnie land...

McLaren Vale, South Australia. Stylish and suave, highlights of violets and blackcurrant meld deliciously with roasted tomato and capsicum characters...

McLaren Vale, South Australia. The wine’s appearance is noticeably deep and dark, suggesting a complex full-bodied, oak matured wine. The aromas are very classic cabernet with notes of exotic dark plums, mulberry, blackcurrants, fragrant cassis and an underlying mix of dark chocolate, cherries, cured meats and spiced violets. Green runner-bean and fine-toasted, French oak, cedar notes come through as the wine opens...

McLaren Vale, South Australia. The High Trellis vineyard was planted in the late 19th century and received its nickname because in the 1890’s its vines were first at d’Arenberg to be trained above knee height...

Murray Darling. Victoria.  Very appealing to drink now, this wine will improve with medium term cellaring (up to 3 years). An excellent accompaniment to red meat dishes, pasta and cheeses...

Coal River Valley, Tasmania. Deep Ruby colour. Aromatics of Chinese plum blossom, blackberry and clove woven with whispers of cedar. A complex wine driven by terroir and a vintage of tremendous quality. Ripe dark cherry and cassis characters with seamless elegance, fine tannic structure and perfect natural balance...
