JM 1ST APPROACH

Dog Point pinot has a lot to offer. It’s spicy and powerful, loose and easy-going through the mid-palate but tight and focussed through the finish. It’s a general mass of sour-sweet, cherry-plummed fruit intensity but the aftertaste is all tobacco and spice and cedarwood. Excellent complexity and bound to cellar well.

95 points - A beautiful expression of Cabernet Sauvignon - one I would have liked to taste against a few Bordeaux wines. Classic in its blackcurrant/cedar nose, through weight and balance - just the right amount of sweetness and a long clean and lingering finish. Tony Keys, The Key Report Learn More

Bright colour; restrained cassis and cedar bouquet, with a touch of mint in the background; more red fruit on the palate, with plentiful fine and firm tannin, and a suggestion of Coonawarra mint on the finish. Value. 14.5% alc. Rating 92 James Halliday Learn More

The palate is ripe and has an impressive elegance upon entry and then you are struck with the overwhelming complexity and presence. Extremely juicy with a wonderful deep richness and structure. A mix of pure fruit with edges of exotic notes, immense structure and length with mineral acidity and fine lacy tannins directing the fruit. Learn More

JUMP ON BOARD: Tim Adams 2005 Cabernet

Yep, no brainer, jump on board. Got it? Right. It's ripe, full, mouth-filling, a lake of blackcurrant and leathery earth. Perfect regional cabernet. - Campbell Mattinson & Gary Walsh, The Big Red Wine Book, June 2009 Learn More

The colour is deep red with a dense black centre, and the nose gives tantalising aromas of chocolate, blackcurrants, with hints of nutmeg, cloves and star anise. It is a beautifully rich Cabernet with superb depth of seamless fruit. A supple wine, it is lively and inviting and finishes satisfyingly firm. A wonderful drop, indeed. Learn More

The Cabernet is very much a fruit-driven wine, reflecting an ideal growing season. This wine was made from low-yielding Cabernet grown in the Armagh and Polish Hill River regions of the Clare Valley. The bouquet displays powerful jube and blackcurrant fruit. The palate is layered and flavoursome with vibrant fruit characters, balanced with a finish displaying wonderful fine, long and Bible-black tannins. Learn More

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits fragrant dark berry characters balanced with mint aromas and hints of eucalypt. The palate is full flavoured, rich and round, yet displays elegance with fine tannins and a lingering finish. The wine also shows sutble oak from the 15 months maturation in French and American barrels. Learn More
