Cabernet Sauvignon

McLaren Vale/Coonawarra, South Australia. The wonderful varietal aroma immediately noticeable  while the blend of Coonawarra & McLaren Vale brings out the best in this Cabernet showing leafy mint, violets, leather, black olive, cedar and menthol with toasty vanilla. The palate is opening up but still shows freshness and is tight with firm tannins with well balanced acid and finishes on a clean fresh fruit... 

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...

If you are looking for a great red to drink or age, this is the One...

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.
