Cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, malbec and petit verdot; matured for 15 months in French oak (45% new). Superb colour, the bouquet a wondrously complex mix of cassis, earth, tapenade and black olive, all fused into a magically woven palate with tightly furled tannins. 98 Points, Halliday’s Top 100 Wines of 2021
87% Cabernet sauvignon, with 7/3/2/1% merlot/cabernet franc/malbec/petit verdot. Matured for 15 months in barrique, 45% new. Cassis and red licorice on the nose, bay and salt bush, too. The palate is salty and fine with layers upon layers of spice and texture. The tannins are like finely textured gills, stacked as delicately as the folds in a mushroom. The length of flavour unfurls and extends across the palate, taking so long to fade that this entire tasting note is possible off one sip. The rest are just for pleasure. Drink it now, or in 40+ years from now… both will be possible. 98 Points, Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion 2022

There aren’t too many truly distinct wines in Australia, made from classical varieties, but Josh Cooper’s cabernet based wines from Victoria taste like no others.

Medium bodied, some cola, black olive, gooseberry and a compote of […]
Add to cart Producer: Joshua CooperDarker and deeper in colour to the great 2019. Very much a reflection of the vintage, and I love how different this is to other recent releases and yet seems entirely familiar. Black and bramble fruits, and a compote of summer berries, sweet and tart. Flowers of lavender and violet, sage, cigar box, camphor and […]
Add to cart Producer: CullenIf you love full-bodied cabernet, this is for you. A ripe style of fleshy, spicy black/redcurrants and cassis. Bright acidity, finely structured tannins, vibrant fruit and dark chocolate and coffee oak make for impressive balance, undeterred persistence and considerable integrity. With plenty of ripe blackberries, some raspberry and even violets, this perfumed wine has softly […]
Add to cart Producer: Curator Wine CoCabernet off the Sheaok Vineyard, and it’s a beauty (although it comes in a way-too-heavy bottle about 1.5kg when full). No complaints about the flavour profile of blackberry essence and cassis, cedary oak spices and toasted nori, black olive tapenade and menthol. It’s fuller bodied with a ping of lively acidity, and the tannins are […]
