Coonawarra, Clare & Barossa Cabernet
We're genuinely excited to be able to offer this pack.
The quality here is extraordinary.
Huon Hooke rated the Leconfield Cabernets as his equal-best Coonawarra Cabernet/Cabernet blend of the past 12 months, alongside Wynns John Riddoch—a wine that sells for around $165 a bottle.
Halliday awarded the Penley Helios Cabernet 97 points, placing it among his top-rated Coonawarra Cabernets, again alongside Wynns John Riddoch. The Leconfield wasn't far behind on 96 points.
The Kilikanoon Meyman's Cabernet earned 96 points from Kim Brebach, making it his highest-rated Cabernet of the past six months.
And Sam Kim scored the Murray Street Red Label 2018 Cabernet an impressive 96 points.
You get the idea. These aren't just good Cabernets—they're some of the highest-rated Australian Cabernets available, and at this price, the value is exceptional.
If you're opening the Leconfield, Penley, Kilikanoon or Wines by Thooms now, give them a double decant and watch them come to life. Better still, tuck a few away—they'll reward another decade in the cellar.
The two perfectly cellared Murray Street Cabernets are drinking beautifully now and will continue to do so over the next several years.

97 points from James Halliday (incidentally this is the same score the last 2 winners of the Halliday Annual Cabernet Challenge received).
This is luxe, bounteous and exceptionally powerful. Double decant a few hours before drinking, or drink it over several days and watch it evolve.
Black tea, cedar, anise, mulberry, violet, black liquorice and masses of silky mouthcoating tannins and a real finesse to the palate shape. Symphonic fruit which builds to a mighty crescendo.
A first release Reserve Cabernets from Leconfield. Huon Hooks gave it 97 points, marking this as one of the finest reds he's reviewed in the last year.
Kim Brebach wrote, 'The best red I’ve tasted in the last 6 months'. - 96pts
This blend sees Leconfield's finest Cab Sauv co-fermented with Merlot and Cab Franc, resulting in the perfectly harmonious integration of flavours. Deep in colour; the nose is fresh, and bright, offering dark fruit aromas, cedar, cigar box and dark chocolate. It balances richness with elegance beautifully and finishes with perfectly modulated fine tannins. Exceptional already, and has a long future ahead of it.
An exceptional single vineyard Cab from one of Kilikanoon's original blocks. There's greater fruit weight and complexity here than in any previous release. Tobacco, blackcurrant, tomato leaf, thyme, sage and plenty more on the go here. Give it a good decant end enjoy.
A complex beast this, bolstered with 30% new French oak. Blackberries, black cherry, plum, spice and dark chocolate here, plus a note of tobacco. Plenty of fine tannins to finish. Drink any time over the next decade.
This is classic, generous Barossa Cab with perfectly balanced yet unforced acidity underpinning a palate saturated with dark fruits including plum and blackberries.
In spite of its age, this is worth decanting as it opens up over several hours, so should continue to improve with additional time in bottle too.
Drink anytime over the next decade or so.
Rich, ripe blue fruited and beautiful. Only 233 dozen were produced from a tiny close-planted block. Decant, or open and give it 30 minutes in the glass, and you’ll find layered blue fruits, spice, liquorice, violets, dried herbs and espresso notes. Fine gravelly tannins and cedary oak. Impressive now, excellent tomorrow, and likely superb for 10–20 years.
