A full bodied, intense red with blackcurrant, cedar, and white pepper flavours. Elegant, fine grained tannin gives this wine good potential to age. Excellent with roast meats or BBQ steak.

Coonawarra is regarded as Australia's premier region for Cabernet Sauvignon. The Reschke properties are located on the famous strip of 'terra rossa' soil in Coonawarra and has been owned by the family for almost 100 years. The fruit selected for Empyrean is the best on their 10.8 acre site and is only made in exceptional years.

2006 Patrick of Coonawarra Home Block Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were grown at the Toccaciu Coonawarra estate, and the wine was matured for 26 months in French and American oak; while I am not a fan of ProCork, this is a very attractive wine, which has cruised through six, rising seven, years, the cassis and cedar flavours supported by very fine but persistent tannins.

Classic Cabernet nose showing an abundance of dark berry fruits. Full bodied palate with blackberry and rich dark chocolate flavours supported by fine tannins and integrated fine oak from the centre of France. Showing the richness of the warmer Coonawarra Vintage.

Gorgeous purple foam. Plums and dark cherry fruits with Christmas cake spice and some oak complexity. Refreshing and not too heavy, a real crowd pleaser.

This Shiraz delivers bold dark-fruits along with rich red-berry concentrates. Touches of subtle oak and pepper complete the palate, supported by a fine tannin structure.

A perfect spicy companion, expressing the subtlety of shiraz in a region defined by cool climate and outstanding soil. Driven blueberry and cherry fruit palate.A continuation of dark chocolate from the aroma balances with a supple and elegantly textured mouthfeel. Toasty oak midpalate supports these youthful flavours and deep tannins to provide a harmonious and persistent finish.

Packed full of mint, blackcurrants, spice and cedary oak, this wine is indicative of how a great the 2004 vintage was. Drinking beautifully now.

The Zema family has a proud history of producing great Coonawarra wines with plenty of regional character. This rich inky offering is redolent of ripe berries with a long satisfying finish.
