Impeneratable purple in the glass with classic notes of blackberry, blackcurrant along with aromas similar to that of a freshly opened bag of natural confection co jelly babies driven secondarily by slight herbaceous notes, a slap of mint, liquorice and some oak but is settled in nicely. Medium to full bodied palate is similar to that of the nose that is scaffolded by lacy ropes of tannins that's filled with high fruit intensity. Reckon you'll be good going for another 6-8 years and turn your world upside down by pairing it with some beautiful lamb.

Not usually a region I go for cabs. Full bodied, good fruit, mint eucalyptus and good acidity.

Delicious. Earthy and strawberry on the scent and in the taste. Mild tannins. Ling wring yet smooth finish. Medium to full body.

Checked out McLaren Vale before Barossa Valley and visited Maxwell Winery. Tammy found this excellent Cab. Light, very approachable with an incredibly long lingering finish. Really enjoyed it with the steak we barbecued at our cottage in Port Fairy, AUS. The day before our Great Ocean Road drive. 😃
