2012 Peter Lehmann Mentor Cabernet Sauvignon, Barossa Valley, they don't come much better than this and at this price. Rich and on point red and black fruits are entwined with the elegant smoky French oak, with hints of cassis, leather and leaf coming through. A classic wine deserving a classic fillet of beef with Bearnaise and fries. Sign me up..

This limited release is the best Cabernet of vintage and the mild conditions experienced in 2012 have accentuated the varietal characteristics. The colour is deep, leading to a bouquet of violet and cassis and a touch of dark chocolate. The palate shows the substance of Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon and finishes with great length- a wine of great breeding which can be cellared with confidence for another 8-10 years.
