Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

The wine is a classic Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon showing intense cassis fruit flavours, with a long finish on the palate and soft tannins. The wine was matured in French oak, adding to the wine's structure, but not dominating the pure Coonawarra Cabernet fruit characters.

The fruit for the Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is selected from old vine material from the Wilgha and Neilson's Block vineyards at the cooler, southern end of Coonawarra. Located on the famous terra rossa soil, these vineyards were originally planted by Ian and Wendy Hollick in the 1970s and early 1980s.

It will effortlessly cellar for at least 10 years, and is the ideal accompaniment to lamb dishes.

90 points- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"It's medium to full bodied with plenty of dark fruit, tobacco and spice - enough to be considered rugged and masculine, certainly.....Honesty & Style."

92 points - Tyson Stelzer, Wine Business Monthly
"Impressive line and length of crunchy black and red currants, green capsicum and leaf with the support of firm, chalky tannins and dark chocolate and coffee oak."
