1x Penley Estate Project E Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Red — Cabernet Sauvignon
Coonawarra — Australia
This is freakin’ cool. How often do you see something progressive and daring done with cabernet in Coonawarra? And on top of that, produced by the legends that are Penley? There’s a lot of that ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ attitude in the region, so it’s always exciting to see boundaries pushed. It’s cabernet, but with a more elegant expression. Believed to be the first wine aged in a concrete egg in Coonawarra, it is fragrant, expressing notes of black cherry, plum, licorice, chocolate and herbs. A fine tannin line provides structure, showing you what’s possible with cabernet if you just look beyond the horizon.
You’d pay $50 full price.

1x Kilikanoon Golden Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Red — Cabernet Sauvignon
Clare Valley — Australia
Clare Valley cabernet is vastly underrated at all ends of the price spectrum. For this money, Kilikanoon have (yet again) delivered an absolute titanic effort. It’s bright and lively the moment it hits the palate, sizzling with fruit flavour and life. Then, as you settle in for the ride, come savoury tones of spice and herbs, followed by a long, luxurious finish. It’s still young, so it’s all about the bright fruit at the moment, but there’s so much potential for ageing that it’s almost scary when you consider the value on offer here. That said, it’s massively enjoyable right now. Give it a spell in the decanter if you’re afraid of getting stuck in straight away. But, you can probably tell from my enthusiasm that I was far from put off by this young wine, and not a word of anything but praise was uttered around the tasting bench by my fellow mofos.
You’d pay $45 full price.

1x Pepper Tree Wines Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Red — Cabernet Sauvignon
Coonawarra — Australia
Ringing the absolute best out of Coonawarra, this cabernet is the bee’s knees when it comes to bang for your buck. Pepper Tree have made this wine to be expressive and concentrated with plenty of cassis and blackcurrant and a lovely touch of leafiness sitting amongst the background of cedary oak . With this wine, there’s only one thing on the menu - lamb. Whether it’s Greek gyros style, a middle eastern spiced backstrap or a good old fashioned Aussie leg roast, lamb is the key. Baa-ring it on!

1x El Enemigo Cabernet Franc 2018
Red — Cabernet Franc
Mendoza — Argentina
Unlike most of the top producers in Mendoza, El Enemigo focuses on cabernet franc for their reserve wines. There’s always a bit of malbec in the blend, but the vast majority is cab franc, 92% in the case of this wine from their estate range. Rather than relying on the power of malbec, El Enemigo focuses on the layering of complex flavours in a more structured and medium-bodied style of wine. There’s plenty of dark fruit there, but it’s the herbs, spices, earthiness and savouriness that really shine through in a style of Mendoza wine that may surprise and will certainly delight.
You’d pay $70 full price.

1x Brothers At War I'm Always Right Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Red — Cabernet Sauvignon
Eden Valley — Australia
The cooler nights up in Eden Valley allow freshness and herbal complexity to shine in this cab from Brothers at War, while sunny days give all the ripe fruit richness that make for a balanced wine. Blackberries and milk chocolate, coffee grounds and mint, finish with just a hint of violets. Surprisingly soft tannins make for easy drinking, while still offering enough structure to intrigue.
You’d pay $38 full price.

1x Indómita Duette Cabernet Carménère 2019
Red — Cabernet Blend
Maipo Valley — Chile
We haven’t had a wine from Chilean producer Indómita since the 2015 vintage. Not sure why, it just kinda happened that way. But there’s nothing like a Gold medal and 96 point score from Decanter to remind you that it’s time to reignite that relationship! This 50/50 blend of cabernet sauvignon and carménère (the unofficial national grape of Chile) is an absolute stunner. Carménère serves in the same role as merlot (some argue they are potentially the same genetically) in making what shapes up to be an exceptional Chilean take on a Bordeaux-style red blend. It’s dark, spicy, full of fruit, framed with structure, and given to an incredibly lengthy finish. Welcome back, Indómita!
