Eden Valley, Barossa, South Australia, Australia
Colloca Estate Winery Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Australia
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Deep inky in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cherries, cedar, dried fruits, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, earth and light herbs.
Full bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and fat legs.
Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, chocolates, cola, black pepper, light earth, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf and light black tea.
Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Australia. Fully resolved by now, and drinking beautifully with nice elegance. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Complex and inviting.
The nose feels like a Napa Cabernet, while the palate is more like a Left Bank Bordeaux. An interesting Single Vineyard Cabernet.
I had this vintage 5 years ago, and it is drinking so much better now.
Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes where aged in new American Oak barrels for 18 months. A small production of less than 5,000 bottles.
14% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$28.
