Well balanced, and finish (546 views) | | | Tasted by graemeg on 1/10/2012: Tasmania Wineries Jan-12 (1) - Coal Valley (Coal Valley, Tasmania): {diam, 13.5%, A$28} Another retaste since Easter, and I’m even less convinced by this. A little darker and softer on the nose than the 2006, but the palate is really just too green and sappy. Well enough made, but there’s just too much DMS running through this to drink more than the odd glass. Buy the 2006 instead. (2642 views) | | | Tasted by Patrick - winereviewer.com.au on 9/14/2011 & rated 94 points: A brooding deep red in colour, the nose is packed full of dark berries, olive and leather character.
The palate is rich and savoury at the same time with a delicate interplay between ripe blackberry and earthy tannins. It gains momentum as it moves from start to finish and has an underlying saltiness that serves to add texture and contrast.
On the finish there is good length of olive and blackberry fruit.
The Stoney Vineyard represents the same exceptional quality as the Estate wine , with an incredibly good value price tag.
Review Link - www.winereviewer.com.au (drink from 2011-2018) (1021 views) | | | Tasted by graemeg on 4/21/2011: Derwent & Coal Valley wineries; 4/20/2011-4/21/2011 (Hobart, Tasmania): {diam, 13.5%, A$28} Developing nose of tree branch, currants and herbs in a somewhat lean style. The struture is 'medium' across the board; weight, acid, grainy tannins, length. It's a touch raw and greenish on the palate, but it's balanced along the tongue. Not quite the step up from the 2004 I was hoping for, but it's consistent with Domaine A's rather herbal style of cabernet, which is not for everyone... (2458 views) |
| Domaine A Producer websiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonAustralia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Tasmania Tasmania (Wine Industry Tasmania) |
