Bowen Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Big, beautiful and bold - the wines from Bowen Estate have a huge following. Loaded with cedary and blackberry flavours and firm in structure this wine will reward patient cellaring.
Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
A round rich palate with a good backbone of tight, but deliciously mouth-watering tannins. Generously flavoured but retaining elegance. Structured to age beautifully over the long term but round enough to be enjoyed while the primary fruits are fresh and vibrant.
Yalumba The Cigar Cabernet Sauvignon
Australia's oldest family owned winery continue to produce wines from the famed Coonawarra terra rossa strip that offer quite simply amazing value. Considered by many to still be the region's best kept secret, The Cigar is a truly delightful Cabernet Sauvignon with lifted violet and blackcurrant aromas with a balanced note of cedar and tobacco. Known to many as the 'Baby Menzies', the Cigar is a brilliant modern take on Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and has always shown a propensity to sell out quickly each vintage.

Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
'Black Label' Cabernet Sauvignon, which was first vintaged in 1954, has evolved markedly over the decades. It is arguably Australia's most recognised Cabernet Sauvignon, and has more than any other, helped define Coonawarra. The wine is matured in new and seasoned French oak for 12 to 18 months. A classic Coonawarra Cabernet with pristine dark berry/ cassis aromas, fine grained tannins and underlying savoury nuances, it develops into a rich, chocolaty wine with age. In a super vintage, this wine can look astonishingly like a 2nd or 3rd growth Bordeaux with its pure cassis aromas and cedary complexity. See Chief Winemaker Sue Hodder speak about the spectacular 2015 release:
Lindemans Limestone Ridge Coonawarra Trio Shiraz Cabernet
Medium bodied with the plush dark berry fruit framed by fine grained tannins to give a long and persistent finish.
Reschke Vitulus Cab Sauv
The Vitulus 19 displays a dark ruby red colour, with hints of green peppercorn and forest floor on the nose. The palate provides fruit intensity, embodying flavours of blackcurrant and light blueberry alongside refreshing dried herbs. High sandy tannins and integrated vanillin oak characteristics provide a long and engaging finish.
Lehmann Hesketh MK 03 Coonawarra Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon
Coonawarra cabernet and Barossa shiraz, by Phil Lehmann and Jonathon Hesketh, celebrating their fathers Peter and Robert, who also worked together, huge figures in SA wine history. “A powerful, full-bodied wine that pulls no punches along the journey, black fruits dominant. Balance is already a keynote, cabernet defending its place without obvious handling bias, shiraz following suit, hence will sustain the wine over its long life-span. 95pts.” (James Halliday)
