| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.9 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Hamersly on 8/15/2020: Our prior bottle in 2018 was wonderful, but this one was getting pruney and finished hot. Could be bottle variation, but I'd say drink 'em if you got 'em. (1260 views) | | | Tasted by KenK on 3/19/2018 & rated 94 points: Wow, really impressive. Ripe yet balanced with pretty red plums, green pepper, black spices, and mint. Smooth and dense, yet nice structure and dear I say some elegance? No rush to drink up sadly. (2004 views) | | | Tasted by Hamersly on 1/2/2018 & rated 93 points: Slow oxed for 8 hours before pouring. Generous nose of dark sweet fruits. This is a rich and powerful wine, but the tannins are very evolved and it’s also surprisingly soft and lush. Delicious and without apparent heat despite the 16.1%. Lots of sediment. (1831 views) | | | Tasted by drinkwine2 on 10/10/2015 & rated 89 points: Huge monster wine that roamed all over the place as it sat open for hours. We poured into glasses and labeled them over time. The wine at 4 hours was in a good spot. On opening it, the wine was to much for the group to take, and we waited until hour 4 to start consuming it. Double decanted as well. This is a thick, juicy wine. Good for a spicy steak, BBQ ribs with a kick. Maybe blue cheese on spicy salami. Uber your way home after having this wine. (2831 views) | | | Tasted by joshabramson on 4/17/2014 & rated 92 points: Huge fruit bomb, a bit over the top but still somewhat sophisticated. Very rich, lots of sweet dark fruit. Very good, but perhaps a bit polarizing. (3566 views) | | | Tasted by Dave Canada on 11/30/2013 & rated 91 points: The Twelfth Annual Stonefields Dinner (Guelph, ON, Canada): Big nose of mint, eucalyptus, dark fruit and spice.
The palate shows candied cherries, black fruits, eucalyptus and mint with a great spicy character. This wine is 16.1% alcohol and I just do not understand where they hide it as the wine has such balance and no overt alcohol.
The finish is medium+ in length with good complexity and balance. Nice wine. (3386 views) | | | Tasted by Wine Canuck on 11/30/2013 & rated 90 points: The Twelveth Annual Stonefields Dinner (Guelph, ON): Quite concentrated nose of candy cane, candied dark cherries, blackberries. Palate is structured, firm and tannic though the tannins are sweet and reveal a candy cane note. A touch of the 16.1% alcohol shows through but it is remarkably well hidden. (3828 views) | | | Tasted by mdefreitas on 10/9/2011 & rated 92 points: Football and Cabs from around the world @ Howards (Old Greenwich, CT): Big and rich, but the fruit and fresh and juicy. Lush and delicious. A great match with BBQ ribs. (4495 views) | | | Tasted by TMacpherson on 7/4/2010 & rated 92 points: We had this at Kelly's for the 4th. It was definitely a little too warm (the wine I mean) and probably wasn't showing its best. But the nose was almost wholly dark and bing cherry. Even the taste and aftertaste were super rip cherries. Cherries from start to finish. The alcohol was a little much (also due to wine temp). Overall, we thought it was a very good to barely outstanding wine. (3413 views) | | | Tasted by Harry Cantrell on 6/12/2009 & rated 90 points: Black. Nose suggested a clone of Shafer HSS. But taste was one of the biggest alcohol wines I've had in a while. Even though the berries were running rampant, I really feel it was let to ferment too long. Nose 97 taste 83. (3042 views) | | | Tasted by Winetex on 8/16/2006: Perhaps a flawed bottle as it wasn't drinkable. I will check on it today and revise this note. (4033 views) | | | Tasted by Winetex on 1/2/2006 & rated 90 points: Dark, cloudy purple in color with a reddish rim. Lots of blackberry, vanilla and mint throughout. I think we probably opened this wine too young but it was a singleton. It only faintly resembled Cabernet but did have impressive concentration. It seemed completely overoaked to me but this is probably a stylistic preference on my part. [Decanted about one hour and needed every minute; Hold on these bottles for a few years and hope for improvement] (4491 views) | | | Tasted by GlenD on 8/27/2005 & rated 94 points: Chicago Cabernet dinner (Chicago NW Suburbs): Deep blueberries, blackberries and plums. Concentrated and expansive. Very nice. Head and shoulders above the other Noons in the flight. This will probably benefit with some more time in the bottle. Here was one wine that never made it to the dump bucket. 2nd place in voting for Wine of the night. (5790 views) | | | Tasted by winefool on 8/26/2005 & rated 93 points: Freemott Group Aussie Cabernet Dinner (Glen Doering's): Deep black purple. Lovely rich ripe black fruit aroma. Big black fruit coffee - rich ripe and round. Almost Cote Rotie character. (3828 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 3/14/2004 & rated 94 points: Dark purple color; almond, chocolate and plum nose; concentrated plum, coffee, cherry, spicy, lavender, honey and chocolate palate; long finish (2085 views) |

| Noon Producer WebsiteNoon Cabernet Sauvignon ReserveTHE STORY
The opulent Noon Reserve Cabernet – sometimes with a small proportion of shiraz – is picked from the Borrett Family’s low-yielding Fruit Trees Block, planted in 1972. Open fermentation and 18 months maturation in new (35%) and seasoned French oak barriques and hogsheads, give the wine deep‑set blackcurrant, cedar aromas, plush voluminous proportions and generous chocolatey tannins.
ESTABLISHED. 1976

Langton’s Excellent Classification
Cabernet 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 SauvignonReserve The Wine News | Wine Country This Week | Wine Lover's PageAustralia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)South Australia South Australian Wine Industry Association | South Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Fleurieu Fleurieu Wineries & Cellar Doors (southaustralia.com)Langhorne CreekLanghorne Creek information
