Written Notes

Don’t let anyone try to fool you that this wine is an example of terroir—when the components come from opposite sides of the globe, that simply isn’t possible. Of course, that does not mean it isn’t a cracking wine and, for me, one of the very best of the offshore range. The blend is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Cabernet Franc, the grapes coming from California’s Napa Valley and South Australia. The name came from the first release of this wine, where the perfect proportion of South Australian Cabernet was deemed to be 14.9%. The wine spends 16 months maturing in French oak barriques (75%, all new) and American oak barriques (25%, all new). 

The color here is an opaque maroon, while the nose gives us notes of cloves, blackberries, chocolate, plums, coffee beans, mocha, Vegemite, tar, soy, and tobacco leaves. There is excellent oak integration, while the palate is seamless. There is very good length, with firm, dense tannins and an intensity that never wavers. Full-throttle flavors here and so much to like. Twenty years easy. 95
