"The fabulous 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is stacked and packed in the mouth. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by a sweet, smoky, cedary, full-bodied character revealing notes of cassis, licorice, and olives. Voluptuous and full-bodied, with the tannin largely concealed by the its wealth of glycerin, fruit, and concentration, this [is] terrific Cabernet Sauvignon . . . . Impressive!"

Renowned for powerful, richly fruited Shiraz, most famously from the Barossa Valley, alongside age-worthy Cabernet and cool-climate whites. A warm climate and old, ungrafted vines produce wines of generosity and depth.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
