Cabernet Sauvignon

Langhorne Creek, South Australia. If colour tells a story, then this is one of depth and character. Appealing floral notes give nuance to the attractive red fruit so abundant on the nose. Blackcurrant leads an ensembe cast of spices and herbs that act as a perfect foil to this wine's mesmerizing display of fruit...

Langhorne Creek, South Australia. The 2019 vintage of Directors’ Cut Cabernet Sauvignon does not lack fruit intensity and depth. However, it is the colour that first attracts the attention, while the notes of spice and classic Cabernet structure dominate the aromas. The palate offers fresh blueberry, rhubarb and plum jam, with a nuanced and complex character in flavor profile and finish. This may be the longest lasting effort to date. Pairs well with acoustic Bob Dylan...

Langhorne Creek, South Australia. This densely purple wine stains the glass with rich colour. The powerful dark fruit is complimented by hints of pepper and spice. The structure of oak is evident on the palate, but finely poised to compliment the astonishing intensity of black fruit and velvety texture of this commanding wine. If you are looking for a great red to drink or age, this is the One...

Yarra Valley, Victoria.  This Cabernets blend combines all 5 of the traditional Bordeaux varieties to produce a classic cool climate Cabernets. The blend is approximately 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 12% Cab Franc, 7% Malbec and 1% Petite Verdou...

 

McLaren Vale, South Australia. Fair bit of gum leaf perfume, and a truffle and flower water pong, mocha, blackcurrant and blackberry. It’s medium bodied, with a blend of sweet black fruit and undergrowth and savoury things, a touch meaty and the like, but with fleshy tannin and a solid finish. A little old school in its delivery but very nice, and almost certainly age-worthy...

McLaren Vale, South Australia. Balanced black fruits, fresh acidity, medium body and a silky finish. Minimal oak influence, mocha and nutmeg spice, some forest floor characters which integrate with the black fruits seamlessly...

Beechworth, Victoria. Complex and earthy with lifted cedar and berry fruit. The Petit Verdot adds extra body with great tobacco characters from the Merlot. An excellent finish with ripe tannins and background oak. Richly coloured with berries, cherry and chocolate.  Our Bordeaux blend of 66% Cabernet, 29% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot is a real treat with bloody beef, rich sauces and earthy veg...

Eden Valley, South Australia.  Color: Deep dark red with dense core. A lifted, aromatic nose displaying blackberry, black olive, red fruits and spice. The palate is silky, smooth and perfectly juicy. Medium-bodied with pristine fruit showing through; blackcurrant and blackberry as well as coffee and choc-mint. Bright and clean with well-pitched acidity...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Displays distinctive, full-bodied Barossa characters of mulberry, dark melted chocolate, prune juice, plum pudding and baked cherry stones, with edges of mint and herb which complement the savoury, tight knit French oak background. Barossa Cabernet made in the right hands is as unique as its famous partner, Barossa Shiraz...

James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2016

Barossa Valley, South Australia. "A neat mix of dark and tangy red fruits with a hint of cassis, menthol and mocha; while not a big wine, the tannins are savoury, the acid fresh making it a drink-now proposition."
