	2009 Elderton Cabernet Sauvignon 92 JH; 91 ST A yummy, full-bodied, dark berry flavored Cabernet with hints of what we think of as Barossa Valley spice - a kind of peppery dark chocolate - combining very happily with rich tannins on the finish. Terrific with grilled or smoked meats and roasted eggplant. "Full Bodied, with a solid core of chocolate, plums and polished tannins. A classic, varietal and enjoyable Cabernet. Pairs well with Loin of lamb or Rare roast beef, field mushrooms and all the trimmings. Enjoy now and over the next 6-10 years." Learn More ...	$23.99 Quantity: 16+ bottles available.

	2008 Joseph Primo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot Moda Amarone 96 JH; 91 ST The Joseph Moda gives refreshingly accurate meaning to the word "special." This is a beautiful wine which deserves a high ranking in all of our "best wine experiences" lists. ""96 pts ... Continues a long line of wines that transcend the normal parameters of McLaren Vale, all with a structure and flavour profile more commonly encountered in cooler regions; while fundamentally generous and soft, there is an earthy/cedary edge to the tannins that takes it to another class. Drink through 2025." -- James Halliday" Learn More ...	$19.99 ~~$59.99~~ 66% Sorry, this vintage is sold out. Sold out.
	2007 Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon 93 JH; 91 WA "Elegant and medium-bodied, the palate lends medium-high acid and firm fine tannins." ""91 pts ... The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is a little subdued with moderate aromas of cassis, black olive and smoked game plus an appealing mushroomy / earthy character. Elegant and medium-bodied, the palate lends medium-high acid and firm fine tannins. The finish is long. Still a touch mute and tight, give this wine another 2-3 years in bottle and drink 2013-2022+" -- Wine Advocate" Learn More ...	$15.99 Quantity: 6 bottles available for same day shipping. 14+ bottles available.

	2008 Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet-Merlot 91 ST "Juicy, intense flavors of bitter cherry, vanilla and clove, with a suave floral pastille accent." "The wine presents immediate fruit generosity, with plum and black currant flavours filling the mid-palate. In addition, the hallmark of this vintage is the balance of tannin, which can so often be a problem with this variety. In 2008, the typically firm Merlot tannins sit neatly underneath, giving firm tannin all the way through but never being gritty or drying. At the very back, the toasty oak adds to the finish. Since this was such a good vintage, it will come as no surprise that we enthusiastically recommend this wine for cellaring. The generosity and balance make it delicious drinking now and we encourage consumers who prefer the plump young fruit flavours to enjoy the wine in its youth. However, the vintage has delivered a combination of chemistry and style that will age successfully for many years. We recommend those who enjoy older wine to cellar it for at least 10 years."

	2006 Penley Estate Reserve Cabernet 91 ST; 91 WA "Bordeaux-like aromas of redcurrant, cherry, licorice, bitter chocolate and tobacco, lifted by a floral nuance." ""91 pts ... Inky ruby. Pungent cherry-cola, licorice and chocolate on the nose, plus a zesty note of cracked pepper. Sweet, smooth and full, with deep dark berry preserve, cherry and chocolate flavors complemented by a hint of dried herbs and a sweet cola note. Finishes with fine, dusty tannins and lingering spiciness." -- Stephen Tanzer" Learn More ...	$49.99 Sorry, this vintage is sold out. Sorry, not currently available. Awaiting ETA.
	2005 Tahbilk 'Eric Stevens Purbrick' Cabernet 93 WA "Intensely ripe and deep fruit cake plum and black currant aromas." "Intense cassis and mint aromas over subtler notes of pencil shavings, truffles, soy and black olive. Tightly knit, the condensed palate is finely constructed with medium-high acid and a firm level of grainy tannins. Still appearing very youthful, this wine should be at its best from 2014-2024+."

	2009 D'Arenberg High Trellis Cabernet 93 JH Medium-bodied and more earthy than fruity. We taste coffee, plum, and dried dark berries. Needs to open up to be properly appreciated, so be patient. "Ripe blueberries and cassis mingle with violets and leafy aromatics on the lifted nose. There�s a touch of spicy oak adding complexity to the typical d�Arenberg soulful earthiness. The palate is still tightly woven with precise Cabernet tannins all sinewy and finely textured. Earthy grip mingles with minerals, graphite and hints of potpourri. The palate is fresh and lively, the acid and tannin backbones working well together with a licorice core."

	2008 Peter Lehmann Cabernet 90 JH; 88 WS A really friendly Cabernet so do invite it to dinner. You will enjoy its fragrant, spicy aromas, and it will share its peppery, blackcurrant flavors with you for quite a long time. "he colour is deep red with a dense black centre, and the nose gives tantalising aromas of chocolate, blackcurrants, with hints of nutmeg, cloves and star anise. It is a beautifully rich Cabernet with superb depth of seamless fruit. A supple wine, it is lively and inviting and finishes satisfyingly firm. A wonderful drop, indeed."

	2008 Plantagenet Estate Cabernet Mount Barker 94 JH Ah the cool climate Cabernet, so delicious with its black olive and tea, dark earthy fruits, and lovely long, clean finish. Fabulous food go-with, from your red meat or fowl especially with mushrooms through to your chocolate dessert. "A highly refined polished wine with beautifully integrated powder coat tannins and a sumptuous mid palate of succulent currants and blackberries flavours that carry the length of the palate, a bright, clean finish. Very tasty indeed." Learn More ...	$28.99 Quantity: 15 bottles available for same day shipping. 22+ bottles available. Ships in 1-5 business days.
	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 ...	$20.99 Quantity: 21+ bottles available. Ships in 1-5 business days.
