Brand new French oak barrels have been used for this wine, reflective of the quality of fruit pulled from this vineyard in spite of the difficult vintage. Plenty of proper Cabernet flavour here and plenty of acid too so this will work well with meaty, creamy dishes like...

A stunning Cabernet that's been given the full French oak treatment. Stacks of dark fruit and violets framed by fine, almost silky tannins. This opens up in the glass over an hour or more. Superb now and should be magnificent in 10...

A delicious and deeply expressive Cabernet Sauvignon. There are dark notes of black and blue berry fruit, together with mint, vanilla and cedar. The palate has complex fruit flavours of blackcurrant and blueberry accompanied by a savoury spice, all supported with firm but very fine tannins. Decant and drink now or cellar for up to another 30 years....

2013 was an excellent vintage in the Vale and this is a big, old-school Cab packed with blackstrap, a little varietal greenery and great depth of flavor. Double decant a couple of hours before pairing it with something meaty or give it 10 years. Remarkable value for...

Halliday scored this 90 points over a year ago, about the same time we decided not to run with it. A lot has changed in a year and what was a good Coonawarra Cab has become quite exceptional. The wine is now opening up beautifully, with trademark Coonawarra greenery giving way to bright yet plush fruits, chocolate, fine tannins and very beautiful cedary oak....

This is a down to earth, honest South Australian Cabernet, atypical in every way with its deep red colouring and a dusty, leafy and somewhat oaky nose, complemented by a showing of blackcurrant fruit. On the palate it shows those same characters set in a balance of soft fruit and tannin; all very pleasant. Ready to drink...

Ripper Cab here, chokkers with violet, chocolate and a hint of a mean, green streak just below the surface… well worth decanting if you are going to drink now and will cellar for 10 years, no worries....

Black as the ace of spades and loaded with pure Cabernet flavours this is a mouthwatering wine to drink now with something meaty but will also improve for 5-8 years in the cellar, cupboard or dungeon. We tasted blackcurrants, cherries dark chocolate and a little menthol. Finishes long and with plentiful fine-grained tannins....

Claymore’s Bittersweet Symphony Cabernet offers a perfume of olives and blue fruits along with some violet. Blackcurrant, plums, a twist of dark chocolate and black olive are at play on the palate. Delicious now but will probably improve for 15 or more years. Decant it a couple of hours before drinking and pair it up with protein like a really good steak or gourmet snaggers if you are planning...

A superb first release Cabernet under the Curtis Cavaliere label and as good as you’d expect if you’ve had the Shiraz previously. Lots going on here, with chocolate, spice, cedary oak and lots of fine tannins. Decant for an hour or so if you want to try it now or stick it in the broom closet for up to 10 years....

One of the most powerful Erin Eyes Cabs to date. Powerful enough that winemaker Steve Wiblin upped the new oak percentage for this vintage. Blue fruit perfume the nose. Blackcurrant, black olive, plum and a twist of dark chocolate and spice play on the palate. Delicious now but will cellar well too... 10-15...
