Relish a sumptuous, 95pt, elite Single Vineyard Coonawarra Cabernet from the top-class Jim Barry estate. "There is a highly attractive, pure core of fruit on the mid palate (cassis, blackberry and blood plum swirl in a vortex of flavour… length is admirable… fine tannins… elegant wine… 95pts" (Erin Larkin, The Halliday Wine Companion). Clare Valley’s Jim Barry is a name known around the world – a byword for quality and wine expertise. A founding member of Australia’s First Families of Wine, the Barry family celebrated the 60th anniversary of its winery in 2020, the year it also scooped the title of Halliday’s ‘Winery of the Year’. Son Peter took over Jim Barry in 1985, and today brothers Tom and Sam – together shortlisted for Winemaker of the Year 2026) are pushing the bar even higher. Though the name Jim Barry is almost synonymous with the Clare Valley, the family own vineyards in Coonawarra too, and for this Single site beauty they use fruit from the Penola Cricket Ground vineyard, – literally an old cricket ground, they bought and planted in 1997. The name honours all those who played here. For Stuart Knox in The Real Review its: “Ripe fruit has power and intensity, well-matched to a judicious oak layer that brings harmonious spice…93pts”

Enjoy a fabulous exclusive Cabernet Sauvignon from Clare Valley's Jim Barry estate. A founding member of Australia’s First Families of Wine, the Barry family celebrated the 60th anniversary of its winery in 2020, the year it also scooped the title of Halliday’s ‘Winery of the Year’. Over three generations the Barry name has been famous throughout the wine world and synonymous with the Clare Valley. Jim Barry bought his first vineyard here in 1959, and even helped the Taylor family open their winery a decade later. Son Peter took over Jim Barry in 1985, and today brothers Tom and Sam, with sister Olivia, have raised the bar even higher. Tom and Sam have been shortlisted for Halliday's Winemaker of the Year 2026. This is a new exclusive, a juicy and approachable Cabernet from the Clare Valley's high altitude Eastern. The Barrys’ vineyards along the valley’s Eastern Ranges, which sit between 480 and 500 metres above sea level...as Tom Barry explains: “You have 35 degree days but it will get well down below 10 degrees in the nights which really helps you build flavour and ripen the grapes evenly without high alcohol levels."

"From the Wrattonbully region, this is a blend of Shiraz, Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The colour is a deep red and we have aromas weaving through notes of warm earth, bay leaves, milk chocolate, blueberries and smoked meats. There are dusty tannins and juicy acidity here, in a wine of medium length, but with a pleasantly lingering finish. This will provide most attractive drinking…. 91pts " (Ken Gargett, WinePilot).

Jane Faulkner is bang on about this two-time Gold medal-winning, 95pt red when writing in The Halliday Wine Companion: "Aside from being a steal, this is a classy Cabernet. Fruit off vines hovering around 45 years, aged in French barriques, 30% new and aged 20 months all up. It’s made with intent, it’s made well and it highlights cassis and blackberries dipped in choc-mint, sweet spices and cedary oak … The palate is well composed and filled with textural tannins, fresh acidity and more besides. Enjoyment writ large here. 95pts. Great Value” It also won Gold at the local Langhorne Creek Wine Show. For John Lehmann witing in The Astralian this is: "A classic Cabernet unfurls here with cedar, blackcurrant, cassis and spearmint on the nose, then a concentrated palate offering blackcurrant fruit pastilles, mint and savoury, herbal notes on the finish. The tannins are firm but decanting will help bring out the fruit." We love Lake Breeze, but don't take our word for it... “The quality of the Lake Breeze wines is exemplary, with the red wines particularly appealing ...” (James Halliday). “Like Greg Follett, the Lake Breeze wines are unassuming but quietly impressive. Never doubt the value they represent...” (Peter Forrestal, Gourmet Traveller Wine). The winery has gone from strength to strength with Greg Follett heading the Lake Breeze winemaking team. Lake Breeze has been named Australia’s Champion Small Winery at the Australian Small Winemakers Show, and has won Champion Wine four times. Elsewhere it can boast well over 25 trophies and 125 Golds. In 2023 Lake Breeze won Best Value Winery of the Year in Halliday’s Wine Companion, and Greg Follett was shortlisted as Winemaker of the Year 2024.

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."

Boasting two Gold medals and scores of 93 and 92pts, Elena Brooks' Lion's Roar of Barossa Cabernet comes from old vines planted between Seppeltsfield Road and Marananga in the Barossa, on ancient red soils and rocks ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. “Cabernet sauvignon sourced from old vines in the western Barossa; aged in French oak (30%) new for 14 months. Deep crimson with punchy blackberry, blackcurrant and black cherry aromas cut with hints of baking spices, olive tapenade, earth, charcuterie, sage, licorice and dark soy. Bright and detailed on the palate with tight, sandy tannins, bright acidity and sprightly cadence finishing taut, pure and grainy. 92pts.” (Dave Brookes, The Halliday Wine Companion).
