Ripe in flavor, with notes of fresh and dried cherry playing against tobacco and smoke character, as the finish gets dense and serious. Best from 2013 through 2018. 25 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Barossa Select to Add

Can a Barossa Cabernet be said to be understated? Especially considering the warm vintage, this wine is wonderfully elegant and restrained, revealing hints of mint, cassis and oak. It’s full bodied and dense, yet remains fresh, with a long finish that artfully balances firmness and softness, crispness and weight. Drink now–2020. ——J.C.(11/1/2011)—— 91
