Mildara Cabernet Sauvignon
Packed full of mint, blackcurrants, spice and cedary oak, this wine is indicative of how a great the 2004 vintage was. Drinking beautifully now.
Mildara Rothwell Cabernet Sauvignon
Mildara first released wines in the late 1800's and was one of the earliest pioneers of the Coonawarra region in the 1950's. One of the most exciting wines in Dan's Cellar Release program, the 2004 Rothwell Cabernet is a wine of fierce structure, elegant balance and sheer drinkability. Classic blackcurrant, minty, toasty oak, medium bodied with a juicy pastille richness and firm tannins. Superb right now, it will evolve over many years to come.
Lindemans Limestone Ridge Coonawarra Trio Shiraz Cabernet
Medium bodied with the plush dark berry fruit framed by fine grained tannins to give a long and persistent finish.
Rusden Boundaries Cabernet Sauvignon
Wynns Coonawarra Pedro Ximenez
Malt, toffee and caramel characters lead, with lovely clean spirit lifting up florals and hints of rancio and raisin. The palate is elegant, fresh and smooth with spicy complex toffee and fish oil. A round and rich mid palate is made tight with clear fine spirit, and creamy intense malt notes stretch for a long, clean finish. Pair with dry coconut ice cream, dark chocolate ganache and baked apple or bitey cheddar with figs, dates and prunes.
Curtis Cavaliere McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon
The wine is gorgeously fruited and fragrant on the nose showing dark fruit richness with smoked game, vanilla, chocolate tart and cedar characters. The palate is concentrated and wonderfully weighted, delivering fabulous fruit intensity and stylish oak infusion, backed by fine chalky tannins, finishing superbly long and sturdy. At its best: now to 2025.
Bremerton Walters Reserve Cabernet
This gorgeous Walters Reserve Cabernet features a deep crimson red colour with dark hues. The attractive bouquet and the lush palate flaunt sharp nuances of blackberry, chocolate and bramble coupled with subtle earthy and savoury undertones. These vibrant elements, supported by a fine and elegant tannin structure, end the wine in a spicy and captivating finish. Drinking well with red meats, game dishes, or a delicious cheese plate.
Angas Plains Estate Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
The intensity of the fruit and varietal characteristics of Langhorne Creek soft tannin Cabernets were integrated with fine oak to develop this wine.

Jim Barry Pb Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon
"More elegant than powerful but there's yet plenty of fruit flavour. Leather, spice, black cherry and blackberry, with bay leaf and coffee grounds on back-up vocals. It will mature reliably well." 94 points, James Halliday Wine Companion, October 2016.
