96 / 100"Matured in 100% French oak, 30% new. There's a boldness to the fruit profile here, a good thing, but what really sets this wine apart is its combination of freshness, substance and structure. You often get two, but rarely all three. Commanding firmness offers a beautiful mix of boysenberry and blackcurrant, all finished by a delicious smattering of choc-mint. Its balance, length and overall styling are all spot on. In short, it stacks up from every angle."

Tasting Notes
Steyning Cabernet Sauvignon features a deep garnet hue with a purple rim. The attractive bouquet offers intense aromas of plums, olives, leather and dark berries. This enticing Cab Sauvignon is dense on the palate, brimming with concentrated fruit flavours and cedar oak notes. These wonderful characters are supported by savoury tannins, which eventually pave the way for a complex and lengthy finale. Pair this mouth-watering Cabernet with beef stew, bittersweet chocolate and Cheddar cheese, to discover its grand flavours.
Dark, fragrant aromas of blood plum, blackcurrant and anise will draw you in to this contemporary expression of Coonawarra cabernet. It’s a complex and thought-provoking wine, medium-bodied with layers of cassis, dark chocolate and toasty French oak.
