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 Coonawarra 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.

2014 Ch. Fleur Haut Gaussens, Bordeaux

Ch. Fleur Haut Gaussens, Ready, but will keep,

This wine, awarded a gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris, is everything one could want from a Bordeaux Supérieur. It’s a blend of Merlot (70 percent), the Cabernets (Franc and Sauvignon) and Malbec (all 30 percent), made by Hervé Lhuillier, the fourth-generation owner of Ch. Fleur Haut Gaussens.

Hervé achieves remarkable consistency year on year, but still manages to capture the characteristics of the vintage: his ’14 is delicately perfumed, with an array of dark fruit aromas, and shows crisp acidity yet sufficiently supple tannins to be uncorked now. Six months in new oak might overwhelm a lesser Bordeaux Supérieur, but are just right in this case, contributing extra complexity to the nose and roundness to the palate. A truly marvellous accompaniment to roast beef, lamb or venison.

2010 Viña Koyle Royale Cabernet Sauvignon, Colchagua Valley

Vina Koyle, Ready, but will keep,

A remarkably full-bodied and fruit expressive Cabernet Sauvignon, with masses of ripe blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, ably supported by spicy French oak notes. The fine, ripe tannins make this a very page-worthy wine.

2015 Old Plains Longhop Cabernet Sauvignon, Mount Lofty Ranges

Old Plains, Ready, but will keep,

Made from the few remaining parcels of old vines in the Adelaide Plains planted by Italian immigrants after World War II, this wine shows excellent concentration. Blueberry compote and violets on the nose develop into a rich palate dominated by brambles, mulberries and dark chocolate. A final peppy acid kick provides a long and fresh finish.

2016 La Bergeronette, Ch. Fleur Haut Gaussens, Bordeaux

Ch. Fleur Haut Gaussens, Ready, but will keep,

Ch. Fleur Haut Gaussens, a thirty-hectare property north of Fronsac on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, stands out for the quality and originality of its wines. This brand new cuvée, made from 100 percent Cabernet Franc – a valued supporting actor in these parts but rarely the lead – is a case in point. It hails from young vines, which winemaker-proprietor Hervé Lhuillier harvests relatively late, to produce a wine bursting with bright, ripe red-fruit character on the nose and palate.

La Bergeronette’s gorgeous, lifted bouquet speaks of Hervé’s decision to retain around 15 percent of the stems during vinification; a technique more commonly seen in Burgundy than Bordeaux. One third of the final blend is aged for six months in 400-litre barrels (the rest in stainless steel) which impart only the subtlest of aromas, but take some credit for its irresistibly supple tannins and sheer juiciness. The finish reverberates with Cabernet Franc’s trademark acidity. Drink now to 2020.

2016 Bolgheri, Rosso, Grattamacco, Tuscany, Italy

Grattamacco, Ready, but will keep,

The Bolgheri Rosso 2016 grows at 100>200m altitude, under 2km from the Mediterranean sea. The 2016 has a deep core of black cherry, cassis and balsamic flashes, framed by an immediate and fruity expression. Sweet spices of smoke and oak, attained from 10 months in barrique and framed by firm, yet silky tannins. Grown on rocky and calcareous soils, the signature of Grattamacco is expressive and mineral salinity which carries the palate on and on. Drink now to 2026.

2015 Ch. Fleur Haut Gaussens, Bordeaux

Ch. Fleur Haut Gaussens, Ready, but will keep,

Although this wine is classified as a “humble” Bordeaux Supérieur, its grower, Hervè Lhuillier, lavishes Grand Cru levels of care on its vines. This shows in the wine, which is incredibly sleek and polished for this level – a quality further enhanced by the generosity of the 2015 vintage. Lovely plum and cedar aromas are evident, and the wine is long, but not overdone. Overall, it’s a very impressive effort.

2016 Andrew Will, Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, Washington State

Andrew Will Winery, Ready, but will keep,

Three quarters of the fruit for this wine comes from the Two Blondes vineyard, the rest from Champoux. One hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon, it sees no new oak, but spends 14 months in older barrels. It offers classic Cabernet aromas of cassis and black cherry with attractive sweet spice and herbal notes. It has a firm, powdery tannin profile with vibrant acidity and density on the mid-palate.

2014 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Napa Valley

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, For laying down,

Very dense in its bright purple colour this is a great entry for Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars in 2014. The oak frames the dark, brooding fruit very nicely and the finish is already taking shape well. This is crying out for rare Bavette and a quick decant – exactly what I look for in my Napa Cabernets.

2014 Elderton Ashmead Cabernet Sauvignon, Barossa Valley

Elderton, Ready, but will keep,

Elderton’s Ashmead block has consistently produced small parcels of excellent quality fruit. The palate is well balanced with a generous serving of black olives and shavings of rich dark chocolate. There is also an abundance of concentrated forest fruits and sweet spice. With 22 months in new French oak puncheons the tannins are well-structured yet supple, producing a wine that is drinking well now, but equally one that will blossom in the next three decades.

Located in Zillah, Washington this vineyard is part of the Yakima Valley AVA and is the coolest site that the estate works with. The wine tends to show much more restraint and the 2011 vintage benefits from a delicate herbal quality supported by a mix of red and black fruits.

2005 Frog's Leap Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, C.A.

Frog's Leap, Drink now,

If a wine could have perfect pitch this would be it: the tightly-coiled nose of this 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc wine is poised with juicy graphite and cassis notes while the palate's delicious with pretty, small-berried red fruit, some spice & cocoa, the silkiest of tannin structures &, overall, a certain aristocratic aloofness commensurate with top Rutherford wines. Immaculate but ideally savoured between 2010 & 2020, along with some fine rib-eye.

2009 Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra

Penfolds, Ready, but will keep,

In contrast to Bin 707, Bin 169 is the expression of the fruit and terroir from one single region, Coonawarra, perhaps the region more closely associated with Cabernet Sauvignon in Australia than any other. Matured for 14 months in new French oak, contemporary style showing both regionality and maturation of Cabernet Sauvignon in fine grained French oak.

2014 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23 Napa Valley

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, For laying down,

Brilliant energy from rich dense fruit and spicy floral tones on the nose. Blueberry, blackcurrant, strawberry – fresh and floral at the same time as rich, with cigar box, pepper and beautiful clove spiciness. Just a hint of something savoury underneath. The precision and purity on the palate will make you smile! Perfectly judged line of acidity to the vibrant fruit. Full bodied, powerful, and not overbearing at all, this is a joy to drink now, but will surely be at its best in another 10 years. Those that argue Cabernet is King would do well to show this to any non-believers.
