Welcome Berry Bros. & Rudd

Cab.Sauvignon


The most famous red wine grape in the world and one of the most widely planted.

It is adaptable to a wide range of soils, although it performs particularly well on well-drained, low-fertile soils. It has small, dusty, black-blue berries with thick skins that produce deeply coloured, full-bodied wines with notable tannins. Its spiritual home is the Médoc and Graves regions of Bordeaux where it thrives on the well-drained gravel-rich soils producing tannic wines with piercing blackcurrant fruits that develop complex cedarwood and cigar box nuances when fully mature.

The grape is widely planted in California where Cabernet Sauvignon based wines are distinguished by their rich mixture of cassis, mint, eucalyptus and vanilla oak. It is planted across Australia and with particular success in Coonawara where it is suited to the famed Terra Rossa soil. In Italy barrique aged Cabernet Sauvignon is a key component in Super Tuscans such as Tignanello and Sassicaia, either on its own or as part of a blend with Sangiovese.

"William Fèvre was one of the first in a now long list of European vignerons attracted to the benevolent climate and pure soils of Chile. Don Victor comes from panoramic vineyards in the high Maipo Valley, the grapes have been hand-harvested and matured for four months in both French and American barrels. The Cabernet Franc lends attractive aromas and a pleasing freshness to a palate which is rich and finely structured, with notes of plum and blackberry to the fore and a spicy finish. With soft nicely crafted tannins and balancing acidity, this would work well with roast pork or guinea fowl."

"Organically farmed,  Errazuriz Cabernet Sauvignon shows deep ruby colour and then a nose which marries cherry liqueur, blackberries and eucalyptus. The palate is velvety and full bodied with ripe tannins and then soft licorice, sweet spice and a touch of sousbois. A dash of Shiraz adds to the blackfruit on the front palate and complements the gravitas of the Cabernet fruit.  Full of body and rich of flavour, this would work well with Boeuf Bourginon and winter casseroles."

An excellent hand-reared, family made Australian Cab. Sauvignon; nothing added or taken away. The country’s reputation for making top Cabernet has suffered at the hands of the corporate brands over the past 30 years, so it’s great to see a single-estate example shows what’s possible. Deep purple in colour, the nose brims with bright creamy black fruit, fresh ripe cassis & a hint of eucalypt & spice; suave black plum & cassis flavours swell the palate, supported by the most elegant & detailed of structures. Delicious with lunch or supper, a great partner with spicy sausages or rack of lamb. (David Berry Green, BBR Buyer)

Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon shows a tight fisted cassis fruit, that is immersed in a sea of minerality. With generous decanting, warmth & a (sub)prime T-bone steak the wine's fullsome red & black berried, chewy fruit can be coaxed out to reveal a sweet soul & a delicious St.Estephe-like stoniness. How refreshing to come across a Napa Cabernet which shows real minerally terroir & a singular personality & not the gloopy sweet fruit, big alcohol & overbearing vanillin oak more commonly associated with California. A breath of fresh air!

"This is Bremerton's flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, made by the enlightened Rebecca Willson: Relatively short cuvaison in open wood vats captures the brightest fruit, which is then aged for 20 months in new french barriques, followed by 24 mths in bottle pre-release. The nose rings with a plum, cassis, eucalypt intensity; concentrated, assured yet relaxed at the same time. Beautifully pure cassis fruit, along with spicy leather notes, couched in a particularly fine, fresh structure mark this wine as something special; one that will age for up to 10 years easily.

Such were the tricky conditions in '02 that the normal 20% Sangiovese element was omitted to leave a predominantly Cabernet wine. Much for the better, some might say, for the nose seems racier, better defined with bright cassis notes; the palate follows being generously ripe yet marked by some fine Cabernet tannins & fresh acidity. A pleasant surprise, for drinking now & over the next few years. Good with roast lamb.

"The thrilling 2004 Solaia (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc) is clearly one of the highlights of this great vintage. Endowed with massive amounts of concentration as well as structure, it is a big, powerful Solaia that does not sacrifice elegance or balance in its full-bodied personality. Packed with the essence of blackberries, chocolate, tar, smoke, cassis and menthol, this layered beauty exhibits great length and a persistent, warmly alcoholic finish. It has been stunning on the three occasions I have had it so far and is not to be missed." (Antonio Galloni-eRobertParker.com-Jun 07)
