All this is done to ensure that we will get optimal ripeness even in our cooler climate. This wine shows typical Cabernet Sauvignon flavours, lots of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit on the nose and a well-integrated toastiness from the oak. The palate is very complex with hints of cedar wood and nuts with a well-structured body, packed with fruit and the after taste is long and lingering. (6 x 75 cl)

Jim Barry THE COVER DRIVE Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Description: Situated in the cool uplands of the North Mount Lofty ranges about 50 km north of Adelaide, the vineyards of Jim Barry were established in Clare in 1959. This is a family run winery committed to producing quality wines through an innovative approach to viticulture and winemaking technology. As a result of this in Jim barry purchased great vine growing land on the southern boundary of Coonawarra. It was formally the old Penola cricket ground, which first saw a ball bowled in anger and the flashing cover drives of the local champions in 1950. Sadly, the ground closed in 1996 and soon afterwards Jim Barry purchased the 30 acre property and planted a Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard. However, the original pavilion and pitch have been retained, thus preserving an important piece of Coonawarra sporting history. Fruit from this vineyard, along with selected parcels of fruit from Jim Barry's other family owned Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the Clare Valley have been blended to produce a wine that is rich, soft and approachable. Fruit from the Clare Valley and Coonawarra have been used to produce a dark red coloured wine with ripe blackberry, mint and sweet oak aromas. The palate is rich and full bodied with ripe, sweet blackberry and mint flavours, while it shows firm, but finely grained tannins complemented by a lingering finish. (6 x 75 cl)

Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley California
Description: At 90 years of age, Robert Mondavi remains the global emissary for these wine. His vision was to create wines in California that belong in the company of the great wines of the world. Robert Mondavi is known for producing hand-crafted wines of distinct style. Representing the best of California wine growing regions, including the legendary Napa Valley, each of the wines offers unique qualities and characteristics. Robert Mondavi Winery is located in the heart of Napa Valley, California. The first major winery built in Napa Valley in the post-Prohibition era, Robert Mondavi Winery helped establish the foundation for the modern-day California wine business. Its mission-style architecture, with the expansive archway and bell tower designed by Cliff May, has become an enduring landmark that evokes California's winemaking history. Mondavi selected the majority of the grapes from the center of Napa Valley, a region well known for producing intensely flavoured Cabernet family grape varieties. The balance of sunny days and cool, foggy nights in Napa Valley is perfect for developing complex, ripe flavours and supple tannins in Cabernet Sauvignon. A range of soils-from alluvial to lean volcanic-contributes to the diverse flavours in this wine. Mondavi chose 35% of the grapes from the Oakville AVA, including 33% from Robert Mondavi To Kalon Vineyard, and 22% from the Stags Leap District AVA, including 7% from Robert Mondavi Wappo Hill Vineyard. The balance of the grapes came from the Rutherford AVA and other Napa Valley vineyards. Ripe dark berry, spice, violet and chocolate weave through the aromas and smooth, velvety flavours of this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. These rich, expressive flavours come from the soils and climates of vineyards located primarily in the geographic center of Napa Valley. Firm tannins support the abundant fruit character and give the wine excellent length on the palate. Fermentation with both cultured and native yeast strains gives layers of nuance to the wine, and extended skin contact intensifies varietal complexity and softens tannins. Finally, Mondavi aged the wine in French oak chateau barrels for over 18 months to enhance the lush texture and add spicy oak accents to this wine. (12 x 75 cl)

Bodegas Pinord CHATELDON Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon Penedes
Description: The history of Bodegas Pinord can be traced back to the time when, over one hundred and fifty years ago, the Tetas family began making white and red wines on their estate in Sant Cugat Sesgarrigues from grapes they themselves had grown. Even at that time they produced and aged the wines using the most traditional methods employed in the region. In 1942, José María Tetas set up the current winery in Vilafranca del Penedès, just four kilometres from the original estate. Having inherited the family methods and traditions, it has gradually grown until it has now become one of the most highly reputed wineries in the region. Clean, dark mahogany in colour with reddish-brown overtones this wine has an extremely intense bouquet reminiscent of the casks in which the wine was aged, as well as certain vanilla hints and spices such as black pepper. These aromas mingle with those of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety to create a very special personality. The Cabernet variety can be appreciated much more in the mouth, although this highly characteristic taste is somewhat softened by the 14-months ageing period in oak casks and the further two years ageing in the bottle. This has produced a wine with a great harmony of flavours and roundness while it is extremely persistent and long-lasting. (12 x 75 cl)

Jackson Wine Estates STONESTREET Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley California
Description: J. Stonestreet & Sons Vineyard & Winery began in the autumn of 1989 when Jess Jackson purchased a small vineyard and winery in the rolling hills bordering southern Alexander Valley. He named the winery in honor of his late father, Jess Stonestreet Jackson, and dedicated it to the task of handcrafting wines using traditional methods while showcasing modern techniques. Stonestreet quickly garnered international acclaim for powerful red and luscious white wines. Following this early success, Jess Jackson acquired the nearby Alexander Mountain Estate in 1995 and focused Stonestreet on mountain wines, particularly the Bordeaux varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, in addition to small amounts of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc from older vineyards on the mountain. Retaining the intense mountain flavours and colour from mountain fruit demands special care. A pre-fermentation cold-soak extracted fruit flavours while minimising tannin extraction. Separate lots were then fermented at warm temperatures with either native or cultured yeast for a total of about three weeks total skin contact time. Ageing was done in thin-stave French oak barrels, coopered to Stonestreet's specifications. This served to further integrate tannins and fruit while maintaining a balanced structure. A regimen of quarterly racking with light aeration and egg white fining naturally clarified the wine and further developed the nuanced complexity and supple tannins. This wine is well-balanced with a particularly lush mid-palate and dark ruby-purple colour. An elegant structure supports layers of spicy blackberry/cassis fruit along with hints of chocolate and coffee. (12 x 75 cl)
