South Australia Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Burst of berries and a hint of black pepper in the end. Still a bit young. — 6 days ago
Moss Wood
Moss Wood Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
A whiff of oak initially. Minty, herbaceous, plum and mulberry. The assertive tannins in its youth are resolving but still 5 to 10 years in front of it in a cool cellar. Balanced, elegant yet medium plus bodied at the same time. The quintessential Margaret River Cabernet. Have been a long time fan of Moss Wood and in summary, over the years, not as herbal as usual with more cassis and black currant in this excellent vintage. — 8 days ago

Pertaringa Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Nice Cab with a light thiner texture with a complex taste. Interesting that mint is one of the undertones. Good hot summer dray red wine — 11 days ago
Nugan Estate
Third Generation Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$56 on the wine list. $30 Happy Hour price. It will be interesting to find it in the retail program. An ok wine, we like the Penfolds cheap product a bit better. — 18 days ago
Penfolds
Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 1996
A big full bodied red as you would expect given the style and the vintage. Plum, black currant, mocha, liquorice and the remnants of too much American oak in its youth but now settling down and coming together at 26 years of age. At least another 10 years future in it I would say. After a couple of hours in the decanter a very good Cabernet but not particularly identifiable as Coonawarra, although rereading the label the grapes were sourced from a few districts in South Australia. Very Penfolds in style. See 2 previous Delectable notes going back a few years. — 21 days ago

This Leconfield 2020 Cab Sauv came in the sample pack I was sent and it went down a treat! Definitely a nice taster.
In the glass it’s a juicy plum red colour. On the nose it’s rather earthy/forest like alongside having notes of blackberries, and vanilla oak. On the palate it’s fruity and fresh with plentiful black cherries and berry flavours. Nice full flavour without being overpowering. Balanced and delish!
