The marriage between Coonawarra soils and the noble Cabernet Sauvignon grape have long been known to produce wines of outstanding quality and longevity. Majority of this blend has benefited from the terra rossa over limestone soils of our ‘Abbey’ estate vineyard located in southern Coonawarra. The unique micro climate within this part of the region produces an extended ripening period which tightens the tannin structure and increases the fruit density.
Generous Cabernet notes of blackcurrant and blackberries on the front palate. Savoury and earthy notes of cigar box and forest floor move through to fine, elegant tannins to create a lingering finish. A balanced, vibrant wine showing regional Coonawarra flavours.
Don’t mind me, but I think this is a much better wine than the 2016 First Growth, and it’s 1/3 of the price.
Blackberry, blackcurrant, black olive and light spicy cedar oak and a little bit of mint. Medium-bodied, good bit of chew to the texture, savoury appeal via dark chocolate and black olive, crisp small berried acidity, iodine and a bit of ‘mineral’ feel on a finish of good length. Really like this. Classic feel, drinking appeal, and some gravitas.
