Elderton Ashmead Cabernet 2017

"The bouquet is rich and reserved and gently herbal, with earthy and ‘forest floor’ touches. The wine is full-bodied and loaded with flavour, the tannins bold and robust, with a touch of chewiness... it does deliver bang for your bucks."Huon Hooke

 

"As much redcurrant as blackcurrant on the nose but then sweet with cassis/Ribena-like flavours through the length of the palate. Smoky/toasty oak is apparent all the way long though as it breathes the fruit pushes through and ultimately wins the day. There’s a resiny character to this wine which some may find distracting. In general though the power of fruit here is pretty impressive, especially once it’s had time to open up properly.' - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front

 

"A bit leafier than the stellar 2016, the 2017 Ashmead Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is still a fine, elegant example of Barossa Cabernet. Medium-bodied, it's smooth and streamlined, with a somewhat linear feel and a crisp, gently tannic finish." - Robert Parker
