Kilikanoon is absolutely killing it! Do they make an underwhelming wine? We’ve tasted almost everything they’ve produced and can confidently say ‘no’. So it’s perhaps the world’s smallest surprise that this cabernet rocks. It’s sourced from two elevated vineyards in the Clare, undergoing a basket press and 16 months in seasoned oak. Think texture over toastiness, although the hints of char are still there. Cherries, blackberries, cassis and capsicum intertwine, meeting varietal expectations. The wine finishes with polished tannins and length, further driving home the point that Kilikanoon is amongst the Clare’s (and Australia’s) best.

Join us please in welcoming back: the one, the only, Golden Lion cab sauv! If it’s not apparent, we’re excited about this one. A break since the 2017 vintage has made us yearning for more, especially as the 2021 comes under the accomplished (and charming) reigns of winemaker Angela Miranda. Barossa cabernet flies under the radar most of the time, and the Lou Miranda Golden Lion cabernet sauvignon is a case in point. There’s more body and cassis ripeness here compared to cool-climate examples, while it still delivers cabernet’s trademark structure and tannin. Definitely worth opening now to enjoy with your Sunday roast lamb - and one that can comfortably handle time in the cellar. If you can resist.
