About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonCoonawarra, Australiafounder Eric Brand, one of the oringinal
‘BLOCKERS’. This was the name given to the
original Coonawara land holders who sold
their grapes to larger wineries in the
mid- 1900’S. Made in true Coonawara style our
Cabernet Sauvignon has a powerful, yet
elegant structure, displaying pure dark
berry fruits of Blackberry and Cassis,
complemented by classic Cedar Oak flavours.
This wine is perfect for drinking now but
with careful cellaring will continue to age
beautifully over the next 10 years.

Here you'll find a wine that sits on both sides of the cabernet fence - a touch of classically leafy, minty varietal influence, preferred by some - juxtaposed with a generous portion of blackberry and currant fruit, preferred by others, nicely complemented by essential cedary oak. How about that old favourite roast lamb with mint sauce for this oneHere you'll find a wine that sits on both sides of the cabernet fence - a touch of classically leafy, minty varietal influence, preferred by some - juxtaposed with a generous portion of blackberry and currant fruit, preferred by others, nicely complemented by essential cedary oak.

Mellow, developing tobacco and raspberry conserve bouquet, a trace of vanilla. The palate is gritty and the tannins are sticky and slightly green. Drying astringency lingers.
