Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly

"Wow. This baby hit an immediate gong from the past: it reminded me of the great Dorrien Cabernet Seppelts made in the ‘seventies through the ‘eighties. Like vividly. Shouldn’t be surprising – although they’re five kilometres apart, both vineyards grow...

Jim Barry First Eleven Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 (Minor Damaged Label)

Region: SA- Coonawarra

Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Strong release from arguably ‘the’ stalwart, premier cabernet of Coonawarra. It’s set to 13.4% alcohol, restraint, finesse from 2015. I remember when I remembered that these wines were bold, big, power and presence orientated,...

Balnaves The Tally Reserve Cabernet 2016

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "As the Reserve, this wine has the right to flex extract, concentration and muscle across some oakier ribs. And yet, Balnaves' finely hewn grape tannins-all pulpy and chewy-along with a proclivity toward refinement over excess, keeps it all in...

Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

    "It’s a shapely, structured wine of fine tannin, lithe but flavoursome fruit character, exceptional length and a general ambience of sophistication. It’s perhaps not as taut as some releases have been of late, but there is a...

Noon Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "Gentle mint notes on the nose give the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve a lifted, almost floral character. Combined with cherry and cassis fruit, it's clear that this is Cabernet, albeit very ripe, full-bodied Cabernet, with a supple, almost...

Balnaves The Tally Reserve Cabernet 2015

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "Deep, dark and foreboding in the glass, lovely colour. Aromatics of plums, mulberries, chocolate, vanilla and a bit of cedar and tobacco, there's a lot going on here. The palate is all deep, dark and not so mysterious. There's blackberry,...

Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Very deep purple colour; the bouquet young and fresh, the fruit aromas bright and reminding of blueberry, raspberry and mulberry. A hint of dried banana on the nose is the only inkling of oak that is given. A very elegant wine, intense and...

Noon Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "The winery is in McLaren Vale, but the fruit for the Reserve bottlings are sourced from a grower in Langhorne Creek. Noon's 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve offers plenty of mint (some might call it eucalypt) on the nose but also layers of super...

Penfolds Bin 407 2012

Region: SA-(Other)

  "I find myself more and more attracted to Bin 407 as a wine. In the Penfolds line-up it always or increasingly stands clear as a celebration of its variety more than of the Penfolds house. This release is dusty, flecked with tobacco,...

Greenock Creek Roennfeldt Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Phillip White 96+++ Points!"The nightshades are profuse in this remarkable wine. This family of flowering plants " the Solonaceae " range from the deadly datura and belladonna through the mandrake, tobacco and petunia tribes to many essential edibles:...

Balnaves The Tally Reserve Cabernet 2010

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "The Tally, representing the top rung of Balnaves' cabernet-based reds, is given the full dose of fine French timber, and the fruit carries it off with regal style. This has cedary black fruit aromas, plums, vanillin, fresh, dark leaves and...

Balnaves The Tally Reserve Cabernet 2009

Region: SA- Coonawarra

...

Balnaves The Tally Reserve Cabernet 2008

Region: SA- Coonawarra

Nick Stock 95 Points!"An impressive Tally that's working itself into shape; best given more time, though. Impressive concentration and ink-black colour, boot polish, olive, mint and cassis " a classic Balnaves Coonawarra nose " backed up by toasty cedary...

Two Hands Aphrodite Cabernet 2004

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Robert Parker 98 points!Wine consumers often forget just how brilliant Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon can be as the area is far more renowned for its old vine Shiraz and Grenache, but they should take a look at the 2004 Aphrodite, a 100% Cabernet...

Penfolds Bin 707 1999 1500mL-Magnum

Region: SA-(Other)

After a dry winter, good rains in September arrived just in time to assist early growth, although this was less vigorous and therefore produced a smaller crop than normal. Conditions throughout summer were dry and warm before relieving rains and cooler...

Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 1994 (Minor Damaged Label)

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "(no longer available commercially)  Ripe and lush, this still-youthful wine shows considerable development in the glass.  Big, yet wonderfully balanced with a long finish, it should continue to evolve for at least another decade, but...
