This is the flagship Cabernet of the Jim Barry stable. Ripe black fruits combined with a beautifully distinct earth, leather aromas with hints of dried fruits and sweet mulch.
Riposte The Sabre Pinot Noir
The cool-climate of the Adelaide Hills has proven to be a haven for Pinot Noir and is quickly establishing a reputation akin to the benchmark Australian regions. Tim Knappstein from Riposte harnesses the qualities of the region and the varietal with effortless ease with his The Sabre. Bright colour in the glass is followed by a lifted floral nose with a savoury edge. The palate is fresh, clean and superbly powerful. A delight.
JC's Own Bluebird Grenache
A medium style Grenache which already has a quite open and fragrant nose. The palate is silky and smooth with flavours of blue and blackberries dusted with fine tannins and a touch of spice. Length is long and generous, everything perfectly in place and ready for immediate consumption.
Taylor Made BDX Clare Valley Cabernet Blend
A delicious modern Australian version of an old world classic. This is a full bodied wine with complex layers of flavour. At its core is rich blackcurrant, and dark cherry, beautifully melding with dark chocolate and hints of charry oak with supple underlying tannins. Overall a very generous, balanced and most enjoyable wine.
