Katnook is a beacon for quality in Coonawarra for many a decade. Their Cabernet is their flagship that has a rich and elegant bouquet with aromas of cedary blackcurrant. Supported by well integrated toasty oak while the palate shows long fine varietal flavours.
St Hugo Cabernet Sauvignon
Named after the famed Johann Gramp's grandson, Hugo, this is the very best Cabernet Sauvignon in the stable. From the very best sites in the region of Coonawarra, this wine shows classic regional mint and blackcurrant on the nose with a silky supple palate, elegant fruit characters, toasty oak and long, fine tannins.
Brown Brothers Patricia Cabernet Sauvignon
The last few releases of Brown Brothers Patricia Cabernet Sauvignon have put this firmly on the map of Australian benchmark Cabernets. It's colour already a great indication of a wine with depth, along with the complex aromas of blackcurrant, dark fruits and well integrated oak. The ripe fruits are very concentrated on the palate with distinctive fine tannins, hints of sweet spice and a lingering finish. A fantastic vintage to enjoy now or careful cellaring for another 6 - 8 years.
Redman Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
The rich palate shows berry fruit flavour and soft ripe tannins. The finish is also soft and long. This is a classical Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon exhibiting elegance with excellent flavour and structure. A benchmark of the region, enjoy with roast lamb now or cellar it for up to 7 years and watch it evolve!
Bowen Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
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.
Abbey Vale Cabernet Sauvignon
Redolent in ripe cassis and dark chocolate aromas, the palate is long and structured with perfect poise and balance.
James Busby Vineyard Series Cabernet Sauvignon
Antinori Santa Cristina Rosato
Geoff Merrill Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Bests Great West Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine shows rich, mocha and berry fruit with a solid mid palate weight thanks to superbly concentrated fruit. Multi-layered and ready to drink now this Cabernet can also be cellared for several years. 'Still a pup, but all the signs are excellent. Arms of minted blackcurrant; chubby legs of tannin; vanillin oak covering the belly. Its still growing into itself but the fruit feels so pure youd almost label it sincere; it hasnt learned its tricks yet, but when it does, it will fascinate. - Rating 95 Points | James Halliday, August 2016.
