One of Australia’s great cabernets. This from a cooler season highlights and accentuates the typical bright red fruits and blue fruit mix, especially on the nose. It’s aromatic and perfumed with an African violet scent. The palate as always is so exquisitely balanced and refined. Since 1989 the cabernet has been augmented with the floral bright fruit of cabernet franc and the darker robust black fruits of petit verdot. The palate delivers with a gentle restraint yet there is power deep within. The chalky tannins define a long and focused finish. A deceptive medium bodied wine that will cellar for many years. 98 points, Ray Jordon.

Are blends better than single varietals? This Cabernet Syrah would certainly stoke the fires of debate, and I would have loved the opportunity to taste the unblended varietals. Very refined, in the claret vein, balanced poised, powerful and graceful. Stunning flavours of violets, plum, blackcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cream. Terrific shape, across an even plane, […]
Add to cartDomaine A’s Stoney Creek range is built for earlier drinking, yet they are very serious wines indeed, with a little more fruit weight than their other releases. A 87/9.5/3/0.5% cabernet sauvignon/Merlot/cabernet franc/ petit verdot blend, somewhat reminiscent of St Estephe. Expressive aromatics of cassis, violets, lavender, bay leaf, blackberry, dark cherry and spicy oak. Gorgeous […]
Add to cart Producer: Domaine A WinesI am forever surprised at the lack of support for Cabernet Sauvignon and cabernet blends, particularly when I am lucky enough to sample Josh Coopers wonderful wines. Not as edgy or angular as his later released wines, this nonetheless has some wonderful rough hewn tannins and a back lift of bright acidity. Blackcurrant, plum, cherry, […]
Add to cart Producer: Joshua CooperClassic. Notes of blackcurrant, cherry, plum, oyster shell, mint, quality oak, violets and tobacco. Medium bodied and firm, like the shiraz, this is savoury, the tannins really adding flavour and structure, defining the wine. Old school claret of the left bank. Huge potential. Waters Wine Co Still very much in its infancy, this feels […]
