2011 Vina Cobos Felino Cabernet   Our favorite of the Felino line. The Cab gets extra interest from a touch of Cab Franc and Merlot (4% each). Dark, rich fruit, and a hint of spice. If you would wisely like to get a bunch to drink over the next five or six years, we would be more than happy to assist! "Dense garnet color accompanies an earthy nose, rich with aromas of cassis, mocha and lavender. The palate is bold and complex, weaving black currant and boysenberry with graphite and sweet tobacco. Ripe tannins and subtle minerality find perfect balance over a lengthy finish." Learn More ... |

2010 Susana Balbo Cabernet 92 WA; 90 ST We get a fair amount of oak and big, intense, juicy dark fruits. Scrumptious, but really needs to calm down for our purposes. For yours, if you enjoy such power, go for it; for those with some patience, to the cellar for a year or so. "Classic Cabernet aromas of rich red fruits, red pepper, plum, tobacco leaf, roasted coffee beans, and a touch of fresh mint. The aromas are echoed on the palate, with layers of fruit and spice pushing on and on. It's a full-bodied wine that has incredible length and purity of flavor -- it really keeps you coming back for more. If Cabernet Sauvignon dreamed at night, this is what it would dream about! Pairs well with a wide range of foods from beef and pork to lamb, quail and other game birds, and cream-based sauces. This wine will age very well, so don't forget some bottles for the cellar too."

2010 Penley Phoenix Cabernet Sauvignon 93 JH; 90 ST Great nose full of currant, dark earth, and some sort of brown spice all reflected on the palate as well. Medium-bodied and a touch of nice, grainy tannins. Flavors really blossom with food and a little air. "The nose consists of violets, black currant leaf, ripe wild berry and integrated spice of the Cabernet grape. Mulberry and blackberry are the dominant fruit flavors enhanced by a tight palate with silky grape tannins and elegant complex cedar oak, so typical of Penley Style. A very generous mid palate with a hints of licorice and chocolate lingers on the finish." Learn More ... |

2010 Mitolo Jester Cabernet Sauvignon 94 JH Lifted currant flavors, full-bodied without being heavy, altogether yummy. Love that amarone style! "Bright, lush and juicy, Jester Cabernet Sauvignon shows a full bodied palate and mouth filling richness. 20% of the fruit has been handled in the Amarone manner- this technique of drying fruit adds complexity and fullness and produces soft juicy tannins. Jester Cabernet is upfront and approachable for early appreciation, delivering excellent quality for the price." Learn More ... |

2010 Jim Barry The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon   The winemaker's notes are spot on really - isn't that odd? We might add that the wine is full-bodied and has a really nice mouthfeel, or that he missed the bittersweet chocolate flavors, or that the wine is simply delicious and you should have some. "This wine is bright plum in colour with purple tints. The nose shows intensely complex characters of blackcurrant and cedar spice. This is followed on the palate by an eruption of fruit flavours - primarily dark cherry and blackberry, with a distinctive Coonawarra cassis character. The tannins are fine grained and supple and the wine has a long, integrated finish." Learn More ... |

2010 Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon   "Classic cassis and red fruit, laced with nuances of cedar, tobacco and spice." "At first blackberries, mulberries, musk and eucalyptus with floral undertones. Tobacco, vanilla, strawberries and cream and an unmistakable minerality develops in the glass. Yet again, this vineyard produced a wine with an endless backbone of acidity on the palate which is lined with a core of firm ripe tannins." Learn More ... |

2009 Vina Cobos Bramare Lujan de Cuyo Cabernet Sauvignon   Rich black fruits, a bit smokey with hints of fragrant wood and earth. Really solid. "Deep black garnet in color, this Cabernet Sauvignon meets the nose with aromas of blackcurrant and hints of cedar, dried herbs, Serrano ham and tobacco. The assertive entry displays blackberries and plums with undertones of cola and black tea. Firmly structured and velvety through the mid-palate, it finishes with gripping tannins that suggest a wine of great age ability." Learn More ... |

2009 Vasse Felix Margaret River Cabernet 91+ WA Fragrant gum tree aromas and rich dark fruit flavors, full-bodied and smooth, this Cab will transport you to the beautiful Margaret River site of the Vasse Felix winery. Beam us up, Scotty. "Deep red in colour with a crimson hue. Rich, concentrated blackcurrant, violets, bay leaf and dried twigs with hints of mocha, menthol and graphite that are perfectly framed by the subtle spicy, vanillin French oak. Enters the mouth rich and seductive, with a mixture of blackcurrant, bay leaf and chocolate dust then bursts to life with an explosion of tangy, bright acidity. It finishes fragrant, long and full of superb, fine, structured, dry tannins." Learn More ... |
