There was once a time when it took an uncharacteristically cool season to draw out cabernet’s varietal distinctiveness in the Barossa, but in the hands of the region’s most attentive makers, even the deep, intense 2010 season has delivered. Tash Mooney has captured aromas of crunchy blackcurrants, fresh coffee beans, lifted violets, dark chocolate and liquorice. The palate is at once intense in its black fruit definition, finely structured in deep, grippy tannin texture and vibrant in its acid poise. A crafted, honed style of exceptional persistence, profound longevity and impeccable varietal integrity. Best price direct.
