Clusters of Luxe, a Cabernet Dozen

An incredible Cab dozen here, with both the Dowie Doole and the Showblock Cabernet more than covering the asking price.

Kim Brebach gave the Dowie 96 points, having also given the 19 96 points- and compared it favourably to the $600+ wine of Gaja. It is selling incredibly quickly

More recently he gave the Showblock Reserve 97 points with the note' ‘It’s a complete wine in every way… real class here.' Kim doesn't give points away either..!

    96pts Kim Brebach, 95pts Wine Pilot, 94pts Sam Kim
    Only tiny quantities are made of this wine, which is the product of the finest of Dowie Doole's A-grade Cabernet fruit from each vintage. '21 being an incredible vintage has elevated this even further. The previous vintage picked up 96 points from Kim Brebach who said, "Decades ago, I had the privilege of tasting a group of Barolos and Barbarescos made by Giovanni Gaia. These wines had layers of deep flavour, ranging from smoked meats and old leather to licorice, gravel dust and tar. The Dowie Doole Architect reminded me of those wines because it had some of those characters, even if the expression was more restrained. Give it time, and I think you’ll be richly rewarded. If the price seems steep, keep in mind that a Barbaresco from Gaia will set you back $600." The '21 is better again than the exceptional 2019 vintage, and represents a barrel selection chosen from only A-grade parcels from the old, dry-grown Blewitt Springs vineyard. There's black fruits, licorice, richness, density and layers. A stunning wine that will live for a very long time
    Langhorne Creek, SA
    93pts Sam Kim
    A mid- to heavy weight Cab, which still retains varietal character. There are blue fruit and dried herb aromatics, a plush palate and excellent depth and length of fruit.
    McLaren Vale, SA
    96pts Sam Kim, 97pts Kim Brebach
    About as big as you can make a Cabernet and still have it taste like a Cab. Cassis, cigar box, cedar, black fruits, spice, cocoa powder and more on the go here. Definitely worth decanting, as this peels back the layers of tannin a little and pushes the fruit forwards. Pretty awesome!
    Barossa Valley, SA
    93pts Sam Kim
    A powerful Barossa Cab which announces itself with varietally appropriate aromatic lift in the form of violets and greenery. The palate is concentrated, replete with blackcurrant and blackberries along with macerating cherries and spice. Plenty of cedar and plenty of fine to medium weight tannins to finish. Begging for a rare to medium T-Bone.
