Joshua Cooper Dash Farm Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$55.00
The lightest iteration of Joshua Cooper’s sturdier varietals, but it’s by no means light. Super complex aromatics of lavender, violets, iodine, blueberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, charcoal/coal dust. Tight, coiled lacy and chalky, the skins are tasted and felt. Tannins are firm, receding to chalk and they are ever present, shaping and defining the wine. Interwoven acidity seems to heighten the elements and the overall force and impact. Absolutely the best ever. Waters Wine Co
Bright garnet. This vintage shows incredible vibrancy, with lavender, violet and creamy cassis fruit filling the nose and a savoury, graphite complexity in the background. Medium-bodied, fully flavoured and packed with fine fruit tannin, with just a slight nuance of oak seasoning. Again, creamy cassis, red cherry and raspberry flood the mouth, with graphite and subtle crushed ivy lending intrigue, finishing powdery and dry. Decent well and enjoy the youthful vibrancy or cellar into the medium term for additional complexity. Winemaker’s Notes
Producer Profile
Josh Cooper is the son of Nelly and Allan Cooper of Cobaw Ridge winery in the Macedon Ranges, a producer of incomparable regard. Interestingly, Josh sources his fruit from outside the family farm, but growing up in the Macedon Ranges he has an intimate knowledge of the region, its vineyards and growers. We have not yet come across a finer suite of negociant wines in Australia.
Bright, pure, translucent, textural, delicate and poised, with a long and lingering carry. Layered complexity, flavours and textures interwoven, seamlessly stitched, the balance is perfect, no flavour or texture dominating, an equality of components.
Beautiful flavours are one thing, but what elevates Josh Cooper’s wines into grandness is their texture, shape and tannin. Billowing, eddying – their shape all movement, pirouetting, rippling, and caressing. No wine feels as another, but they all share a gentle palate presence, a pelt of velvet, silk or longer woodier tannins.
