Laneway Wines Cabernet Sauvignon

Brick red with maroon core. The background use of oak adds complexity and richness to the wine without being an obvious element.  The palate is of medium weight, fresh and lively with smooth supple tannins. The overall length of flavour and character show great balance and finesse between fleshy fruit, tannin and oak which are all playing a part.

Bare Necessities Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Deep ruby red with plum hues. Red berry, plums and a touch of savoury pepper along with a slight hint of oak. A lovely fruit driven style with a rich mouth filling palate showing abundant juicy fruit falvours. Red berries and plum characters are evident with more complex capsicum savoury notes, clean tannins and soft touch of oak. 

Living River Certified Organic Riverland Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Deep Ruby red in colour. The nose is lifted and expressive, displaying mellow red fruits, a dusty herbal perfume and notes of mocha oak. Medium bodied with lovely pure black fruits. Blackcurrant, olive and mulberry flavours. The wine is generous in the mid palate before soft tannins and bright acidity carry the wine to a lingering finish.

Einzellage Seppeltsfield Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Deep maroon red with bright purple hues. Instantly recognizable varietal characters with lifted aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and vanilla are accompanied by vibrant, dark berry fruits. Full bodied fleshy fruit cuts through, varietal and regional characters abound with blackcurrant, blackberry chocolate and cassis. The palate has a presence only present in high quality fruit from the finest subregion, the structure is faultless we used subtle French oak (2nd and 3rd use) to impart and integrate fruit weight, subtle tannins and its all defined with long length. Cabernet Sauvignon is a long underrated variety in the Barossa and this illustrates how good it is.

Normans Chais Clarendon McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Black squid ink, impenetrable colour. The nose shows dark fruits, dark chocolate and olive notes with rich blackcurrant and violets leading in to a richly flavoured palate. The palate shows elegance and length with dark plum and olive flavours relishing. There is a lot of complexity of flavors and mid palate richness derived from obvious highly concentrated fruit and well-balanced oak usage. The obvious finesse and length along with the finely grained yet expressive tannins in this wine shows it has great cellaring potential and could be a true treasure over the years to come.

Mawson's Limestone Coast Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Deep crimson in colour tending to red. The 2015 Mawson’s exhibits the inviting aromatics of Satsuma plum and blackcurrant. Evocative notes of baking spices such as cinnamon and pimento give a sense of warmth and welcome. There is a real sense of place coming from the dusty and minty notes of the Australian bush. You can taste the Terra Rossa soil in the 2015 Mawson’s Cabernet. The palate is lively and bright with expressive flavours of briar and cassis. The tannins are fine and chalky giving the wine great structure without being aggressive or overbearing. This is a delightful example of Limestone Coast Cabernet.
