Earthy and minty aromas and flavors, moderate structure, lovely fruit, ABV (14.5%) is well-disguised, drinking well tonight, but should last 5+ more years, lovely Coonawarra Cabernet! — 13 days ago

Taking a nip for the rating. For $12 or so this works just fine. Enjoyable and no complaints. Maybe 13 years helped. — 4 months ago

Another great value red from Coonawarra - this from Bowen Estate. I paid $27.50 at the cellar door in 2021. Their excellent Cabernet Sauvignon was the same price. In earlier days this Cuvée showed cooler climate characteristics of white pepper - not evident in this bottle. This shows more spice, red berries and black olives. Just a medium weight palate and obviously great QPR. Interestingly in the early days of Coonawarra, Shiraz was more planted than Cabernet Sauvignon - it’s the reverse these days. I had another bottle 23 weeks later on 6th May 2025 with consistent notes. An excellent wine for $75 but at $27.50 simply outstanding. Should be a regular purchase. The Cabernet Sauvignon at the same price is just as good. — 6 months ago

Wow, a great red. Full bodied with low acidity at the same time. A bit pricey, but worth it. — 14 days ago

3/6.5/9.5 = 19 out of 100 say 94.5
Great vintage 2010 - very strong., great mouthfeel, long linger. Mint with tobacco, strong acid structure and still plenty of tannins. Will go at least 3-5 years more. — 4 months ago
