95 / 100"A gorgeous rendition of the variety, showing blackcurrant, cedary oak, dried herb and toasted spice aromas, followed by a finely expressed palate that's succulent and supple. Wonderfully framed by layers of chalky tannins, finishing harmonious and persistent. At its best: now to 2036. $130.00. www.cwwines.com. July 2023."

Tasting Notes
Established in 1903, this producer specialises in producing hand-crafted, high-quality wines from the famed Coonawarra region in South Australia
Coonawarra is nestled in the heart of the Limestone Coast of South Australia. The unique cigar-shaped strip of rich terra rossa soil that defines the region is a one-of-a-kind narrow ridge of earth, just 27 kilometres long and two km wide, is known for producing incomparable red wines – in particular, Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Coonawarra's Terra Rossa soil is one if not the most famous soil types in Australia. A million years in the making, this long, narrow ridge of iron-rich limestone is one of the most unique soil types on the planet. Combined with cool nights and a long, mild gropwing season and there's no surprise this is one of the Southern Hemisphere's premier wine regions!
