A straight Cabernet would be hitting its straps by now. The fruit is disappearing and you are left with fine white pepper tannins. Good but not great. (1011 views) | | | Tasted by Cbanks on 9/25/2019 & rated 88 points: Quite mellow and not memorable. Had it as a much cheaper wine so maybe it is time to drink them up (1476 views) | | | Tasted by Andrew67 on 10/8/2017 & rated 92 points: Very similar to last time. The fruit remains quite fresh and the acidity has some bite. I am going to leave the next bottle for a couple of years to see if it mellows more. Very nice though. (2193 views) | | | Tasted by AnonymousCoward on 10/3/2016 & rated 91 points: Big cassis nose. A fruity palate with plenty of dark fruits - blackberries, currants, plums. The tannins are still grippy, and there is also an undertone of subtle oak. Long finish. Acidity is noticeable but not bad. (2505 views) | | | Tasted by Andrew67 on 9/25/2016 & rated 92 points: Mint, eucalyptus, blackberry, plum, mocha and cloves on the palate. Nicely restrained, though perhaps the acidity is a little too prominent. My impression was that this was still a little young. Was enjoyed by everyone though. (2456 views) | | | Tasted by Patrick - winereviewer.com.au on 8/18/2010 & rated 95 points: Deep red to purple in colour there is pronounced cassis on the nose, the palate has well defined dark fruits, with rich plum and blackberry the most prominent, there is cedar and fine but firm tannins towards the back palate and the finish shows a hint of eucalyptus and considerable length. This is a wine to put in the cellar for a number of years, but is enjoyable now

Mouth: quite austere - not as much fruit as I was expecting - some tanning and spice. (3759 views) |

Australian DistributorRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.Australia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)South Australia South Australian Wine Industry Association | South Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Limestone Coast Limestone CoastCoonawarra Coonawarra |
