When I first tasted this wine, I couldn’t help but think, this is Cabernet and a serious one at that. Don’t get me wrong, there is a seriousness about it but, the more I tasted it (and I couldn’t help … Continue reading

2017 Levantine Hill Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
You can’t have lamb and not have Cabernet Sauvignon as the wine of choice. They go together, as Forest Gump famously said, “…like peas and carrots” (He meant this in a good way). Any of the Bordeaux blends too, of … Continue reading

2020 Clandestine Vineyards Mount Barker Cabernet Sauvignon
How could you not like the colour of young red wine. It’s a shame you can’t see this one. It is such a deep, lush and appealing purple colour. Even the fruitful and slightly herbal aromas reel you in because … Continue reading

2016 Huntington Estate Block 3 Cabernet Sauvignon
