Vintage 2023

The 2023 vintage is widely reported to have been the most difficult and challenging in at least the past 20 years. A third La Niña event produced the wettest year since 2011 and the ninth wettest on record since 1900 for Australia in 2022, with rainfall totals 26 per cent above the 1961–1990 average.

Barry and Sons Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 ($25?) – The never-ending debate over whether Shiraz or Cabernet is the Clare Valley’s premium red is unlikely to be resolved any time soon, but this contribution certainly adds to the Cabernet claims (mind you, the team at Jim Barry have also done as much as anyone to support the Shiraz cause with wines like the Armagh). This is also compelling evidence of what brilliant value the region can offer.

Gleaming crimson magenta, the nose is all mulberries and plums, with black fruits, kirsch, aniseed, cassis and tobacco leaves. There is a line of juicy acidity, giving the wine life and energy. Finely balanced with good focus, there is excellent length here, though to satiny tannins. A classy Cabernet. Love it. Ten to fifteen years. 93.
