2015 Huntington ‘Bin 25’ Cabernet Sauvignon
There’s plenty of ‘new wave’ things around these days. At my age, I have trouble keeping up with all the new gadgets and gizmos in the high tech world. To a certain extent it’s no different in the wine world. … Continue reading

2014 Yalumba The Menzies Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
There is no doubting the pedigree of this wine. The first one was 1987 and this one is the current release. I’ve tried a few over the years and was going to say this is the ‘greatest’ but my judgement … Continue reading

2016 Best’s Great Western Cabernet Sauvignon
There are regions in Australia that are more commonly known for their Cabernet Sauvignon than Great Western in Victoria (I was going to say more popular but that would be an incorrect assumption). Although Great Western is known more for … Continue reading

2013 Huntington Estate Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
How often do you see ‘Winemakers Reserve’ or ‘Vineyard Selection’ or, in this case, ‘Special Reserve’ on a bottle of wine? I’ve seen a few and I don’t have a problem with that except when it’s not backed up with … Continue reading

2013 Huntington Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
I am going to admit to being a little stuck for words after I tried this wine. I started to write it up and then there was a ‘take 2’ and a ‘take 3’. It is such a really good … Continue reading

2016 Taylors Promised Land Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon doesn’t have to be expensive to be good and there are plenty of examples around in the category of ‘very good’ without being expensive. And on that note I present to you…this one. It is a ‘full-of-fruit’ style … Continue reading

2014 Levantine Hill Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet is King. Long live the King! I realise this is not how the saying goes and it is not in the context it was originally used for either. However, when a grape such as the noble Cabernet Sauvignon variety … Continue reading
