From the stable of Devils Lair, Fifth Leg is a blend of Cabernet, Shiraz and Merlot that is a soft and supple drink-now style. The quality of the Margaret River fruit gives it flavour which will appeal to the serious red wine drinker as well.

This Gold, 94pt "blend of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc is a powerhouse of concentrated flavour and immense drinkability" as Brendan Black WinePilot writes, adding: "…The beautiful notes of blackberry, mulberry, plums, cocoa, cola and cedar, on the nose and palate, align with dusty tannins and ample acidity make for a very enjoyable drop. 93pts.” For Campbell Mattinson, The Halliday Wine Companion, "The quality on offer here is comfortably above average, regardless of price, so much so that when the price was revealed, it was a (good) surprise. It tastes of pure blackcurrant, boysenberry, green olives, spearmint and creamed cedarwood, and the mouthfeel of it, the structure, the flow and the finish are all sitting pretty. 93pts. Great Value."

Jacob's Creek Double Barrel Shiraz Cabernet is a finely balanced mixture of ripe dark fruits and fine texture. The Limestone Coast offers fruit of intensity with ripe dark berry flavours and outstanding freshness. Finishing in Scotch Whisky barrels has softened the tannin profile whilst adding a slight cherry, crème brûlée edge, due to the heavy toast to the barrels.

This wine is a celebration of Grant Burge as a 5th generation Barossa vigneron. This rich Cabernet Merlot has concentrated redcurrant and dark plum flavours, supported by fine tannins and spicy oak. The refined structure of this wine makes it a great match with a wide range of dishes including barbequed meats and hearty tomato dishes.

Aroma: Complex ripe cherry and plum aromas on the nose. Palate: Rich black cherry and plum with liquorice and a hint of mint on the palate with length and finesse.

Intense purple, with great depth of colour. An alluring and strong bouquet of cassis, coffee bean, tobacco leaf and dark mint chocolate. Background aromas of green leaf providing classical notes of powerful Cabernet characters. Blackcurrant, plum and cinnamon feature here, with hints of red fruits and oak usage adding complexity. Beautifully balanced with firm tannins and a graceful, persistent finish.

This Clare Valley Cabernet from Taylors shows ample varietal blackcurrant flavour seasoned with some attractive sweet oak. The tannins are firm but nicely in balance.

Aroma: Complex ripe cherry jam and plum aromas on the nose, with a hint of vanilla. Palate: Rich black cherry and plum with liquorice and a hint of mint on the palate with length and finesse. The intensity on this is turned all the way up.

Brightly fruited and immediately appealing, the inviting bouquet shows Granny Smith apple, capsicum, and lemon zest aromas. The palate displays excellent fruit purity and intensity, well supported by crisp acidity, finishing long and flavoursome.

Big, beautiful and bold - the wines from Bowen Estate have a huge following. Loaded with cedary and blackberry flavours and firm in structure this wine will reward patient cellaring.
