This is another of Koonara's amazing creations. At this price point, this has got to be one of the densest, richest cabernet sauvignons money can buy. The Coonawarra is known for its cab savs, and you can taste why. The dry conditions produce an intensity of flavour lending itself to big reds.
You really want to try sniffing this one out of a few different glasses. A more open glass gave us berry and spicy nutmeg flavours, but when we tried it from a narrow rim, it smelt like rum and raisin. Amazing! The palate was great too, with flavours of mulberries and chocolate, with a lingering taste of hazelnut Lindt balls. The tannins were soft but rich, balancing the thickness of the fruit flavours. This wine is just brilliant, and will drink well for years to come.
Food: Scotch fillet.
Price: This is the best bit - only $16 from the cellar door!
