RATINGS

95+ The Wine Advocate

...simply a chocolate box of layered delights, revealing crème de cassis and black cherry notes plus underlying roasted nuts, espresso, licorice, pepper, menthol hints and a waft of cedar chest. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, the firm, grainy structure well-supports the densely packed fruit and savory layers, finishing with epic persistence and on a spicy note.

95Wine Spectator

Rich, decadent and ever-so-slightly savory, like dark chocolate with sea salt, but also showcasing toasted coconut, vanilla bean and maraschino cherry flavors on a supple, creamy and thick frame. Spice, espresso and cigar box notes linger on the long and harmonious, yet effortless, finish.

95Vinous / IWC

A complex array of dark fruit, oak spice and floral scents... Coats the palate with powerful cherry preserve, cassis, mocha and rose pastille flavors that are supported by a core of juicy acidity. Sappy and broad on the impressively long finish, which delivers solid thrust and pliant tannins that are absorbed by the wine"s dense fruit.

95James Suckling

...mocha, coffee, chocolate and blackberry as well as dark cherry fruits. The palate has a density and depth, some very alluring richness and long, ripe polished tannins here.

93Wine Enthusiast

...showed off richness and complexity, with notes of raspberry, cherry, beets, coffee grounds, dark chocolate and a savory earthy Middle Eastern spice element.

REGION

Australia, South Australia

South Australia is the nation’s most important wine region. South Australia is to Australia what California is to the U.S. About half of Australia’s wine comes from South Australia and many of the country’s most acclaimed producers are there. Wineries based in South Australia include Penfolds Grange, Torbreck, Amon Ra, Henschke and Jacob’s Creek. The prestigious Barossa Valley is located in South Australia, and is often compared to Napa Valley because it is gorgeous topography covered in grape vines. First farmed by 19th century German-speakers who immigrated from what is now Poland, the Barossa Valley is the crown jewel of the region. South Australia has widely varying climates, from very hot, dry areas to cooler, high altitude areas. There are more than 150,000 acres of vineyards in South Australia, with more being planted each month. Shiraz is king, though the region also produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Mourvedre, Chardonnay and Semillon.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
