Katnook is a beacon for quality in Coonawarra for many a decade. Their Cabernet is their flagship that has a rich and elegant bouquet with aromas of cedary blackcurrant. Supported by well integrated toasty oak while the palate shows long fine varietal flavours.

This collection pays tribute to John Riddoch’s multifaceted capabilities, and the many vocations he had in his lifetime, reflected by the ultimate expression of Coonawarra’s varietal diversity. Named after the founding father of the Coonawarra, also known for his fine wool clip. The 2021 Riddoch The Pastoralist Cabernet Sauvignon is an iconic Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, exhibits fresh blackcurrant brambly aromas, smooth, silky textures and generous flavours combined with underlying cedar oak. Aged in new and seasoned French oak barrels for about 12 months. Perfect for drinking now or may be cellared for many years to come.

Aromas of blackberries, dark cherries and spice open to reveal subtle nuances of cedar, mint and chocolate. Strongly fruit driven with flavours of juicy red fruit, subtle green herbs and a sweet spice. Structured with fine tannins to give a lingering finish.

Balnaves has always produced a a classically elegant Coonawarra Cabernet. Blackcurrant fruit, liquorice and mineral characters are enhanced by cedary French oak. Beautifully balanced with a long, textured finish.

2006 Patrick of Coonawarra Home Block Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were grown at the Toccaciu Coonawarra estate, and the wine was matured for 26 months in French and American oak; while I am not a fan of ProCork, this is a very attractive wine, which has cruised through six, rising seven, years, the cassis and cedar flavours supported by very fine but persistent tannins.
