"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...

  "One needs to look at this wine for what it is. If you want elegance and delicacy, finesse and fragrance, this is not for you. While some of the wines in this release have high, very high, alcohol, it is not always apparent. Here, it can’t...

[SOLD-OUT] Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Given its climate, aspect, geology, culture and location, the Barossa is nothing like Bordeaux. Yet consider this Cabernet. Look at that modest alcohol. Sniff the richness of its pasture, first as a perky floral claret with a brash sack of dusty tannin...

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Philip White 94+++!"This is drop-dead gorgeous. Like most of the 2013 Greenock Creek wines " there are also five Shiraz wines from different blocks " it's not as tight and reluctant as the 2012s, with their extreme longevity obvious at release. Which...

[SOLD-OUT] Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Philip White 94+++ Points! "Here's the blueberries and that Clare Valley kalamata juice back again, serpentine and shiny. To sniff, it seems more like 14.5 or 15.5% - much riper than that real alcohol number would indicate - with jellied fruits like the...

[SOLD-OUT] Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Philip White 96+++ points! "I reckon this will become one of the very best Barossa Cabernets of my lifetime. It's not as intense, say, the best of the Penfolds Block 42 Kalimna, but then it's a different style completely. It's an elegant, but utterly...

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Philip White 94++ Points!"Wow. As pretty as the very best Cabernet franc to sniff, with all its lavender and freesia and musk, this sweetheart straightforwardly rivets one. After that perfectly natural aromatic decoy-oration, the squashed berries seem to...

[SOLD-OUT] Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Philip White 94+++ points!“f it didn’t have that tiny tell-tale wisp of minty eucalyptol and creekline fennel – aromas which generally betray Australian red – this astonishing Cabernet would convince many a master taster that it came from the Medoc in...

[SOLD-OUT] Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Phillip White 94+++ Points!"Many deep red thinkers suggest the Barossa sometimes makes Cabernet that beats its Shiraz. Here's a wine that many will offer as proof. All the impossible florals are here, with the confectioner's window wide open next door...

[SOLD-OUT] Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Phillip White 94+++ points!" On opening, there's a thick layer of home-made play dough seemingly holding this wine's fruits down. Ever so gradually they ooze through, heavenly-scented, jucily-fruited, but railtrack smooth and polished for the long haul...

[SOLD-OUT] Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

[SOLD-OUT] Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Robert Parker 93 points!"A sleeper offering is the 2003 Cabernet, an old French oak-aged 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. I have been drinking up my stash of the 1997, and it remains very young at ten years of age. Made from 15-year-old vines with yields of 1.5...
