RATINGS

94James Suckling

An attractively floral cabernet with violet and dried-rose notes, as well as dried leaves, forest wood, mint and wet earth. The fruit sits in the blackcurrant, blueberry and purple-cherry zone. A succulent palate with ripe but fine, long tannins, carrying plenty of purple and blue-fruit flavors. Classically Australian in character and delivered with an impressive eye to elegance.

93Vinous / IWC

Vibrant, spice-tinged cherry, black currant, licorice and succulent herb aromas are complemented by emerging mineral and floral nuances. Broad and fleshy on entry, offering bitter cherry, dark berry and fruitcake flavors and a sweet hint of chewing tobacco. The vanilla and spice notes drive a long, smoky finish that features rounded tannins and lingering suggestions of mocha and cracked pepper.

90Wine Spectator

A mouthful of dense, rugged tannins sets the pace for this concentrated red, with notes of minerality, dried mushroom and forest floor, along with cassis, dried cherry and star anise details.

PRODUCER

d'Arenberg

Located in the McLaren Vale in South Australia, d’Arenberg has existed in one form or another since 1912, when Joseph Osborn purchased nearly 75 acres of vineyards. Four generations later the winery is still owned by the Osborn family, now headed by Chester d’Arenberg Osborn. The d’Arenberg wines were winning awards as early as the late 1960s, and today they are among Australia’s most admired and award-winning wines. Although the estate makes a variety of red and white wines, its signature wines are Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvedre blends. The Dead Arm, a 100% Shiraz, is one of d’Arenberg’s most admired wines. Its unusual name comes from a fungus disease that affects vineyards and results in a “dead arm” on the vine, which means extremely concentrated grapes are produced on the unaffected side of the vine. Also noteworthy is d’Arenberg’s The Coppermine Road 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

REGION

Australia, South Australia, McLaren Vale

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.
