Premium Cabernet & Blends Dozen

Fans of fine Cabernet, don’t miss this premium selection of exceptional Cabernet from top regions around Australia. These are wines you can confidently share with Cabernet connoisseurs. Start in South Australia’s beautiful Clare Valley with Kilikanoon’s layered and textured, minerally and rich Settlement Block – get out your biggest glasses for this one! Then, swoop down 200 clicks or so past Adelaide to McLaren Vale for Hither & Yon’s beautifully complex, chocolate-rich star. About 40km south east of McLaren Vale is the Fleurieu district, where the “gifted” (Halliday) Elena Brooks sourced the fruit for her Dandelion Vineyards Pride of the Fleurieu. Its SIX Gold, Platinum and loads of high points show that Elena (and the Fleurieu) are forces to be reckoned with. Then, head north east for the wonderful Ponting Close of Play Langhorne Creek Cabernet, made by the great Ben Riggs – a prime catch! Leaving South Australia, you can go south east to Victoria (for the lavish Blue Pyrenees Estate Red Blend – a classy cool climate Cabernet Merlot Malbec Cabernet Franc blend with 94pts from Halliday) or go way, way west (for the lovely 91pt Byron & Harold Rags to Riches Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon – “the more I go back to this, the more I like it…. Nice one” says Jane Faulkner from Halliday Wine Companion.) A superb collection.
