| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.7 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by CamWheeler on 5/4/2017 & rated 90 points: Auswine - 90s and earlier tasting: Blind. Meaty, graphite, plum, vanilla and blueberry. Rather sweet fruit on the palate, there is a nice savoury element as well that gives it a bit more interest. Drink now.

(3087 views) | | | Tasted by Clarke on 5/3/2009 & rated 92 points: This vintage is still holding in, at least in my cellar. We dont expect more out of this wine from here. Still, a fine return on investment. im sipping this with a smile (3225 views) | | | Tasted by Clarke on 3/6/2007: We had a bottle of this vintage with roast lamb.
Its drinking now nicely (to my taste) and is rather mellow. Certainly this vintage is not gone - but we're not sure it will get better. (3411 views) | | | Tasted by graemeg on 8/4/2000: Some lightening of colour at the rim – mid red shot with bricking. A chocolate/mulberry nose leads to a medium-weight palate, with tannins softened out but fruit still in the background. Reasonable to conclude that 92 was not a great year. No hint of unripeness, but seems the fruit was really worked hard to extract as much as possible. Something of a doughnut wine, with fading fruit on the front palate, acid on the sides of the mouth, and a little astringency at the back. Fair but no more than that. (3309 views) |

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)South Australia South Australian Wine Industry Association | South Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Limestone Coast Limestone CoastCoonawarra Coonawarra |
