Description

“Elderton 2017 Ashmead Cabernet Sauvignon
95 Points James Halliday

This is a phenomenal single vineyard Barossa Valley Cabernet. The Barossa may be best known for Shiraz but there are some truly spectacular Cabs grown there and this is one of them.

“”From 75yo estate vines in Nuriootpa. Matured 18 months in new French oak hogsheads and puncheons. Old vines have upheld integrity in crunchy redcurrant and pomegranate fruit, even rosehip lift and red capsicum varietal markers. It holds its ripeness with poise, thanks to a vibrant acid line, joining with confident, medium-grained tannins to sustain a very long aftertaste. Dark chocolate French oak has been well played to build endurance without stealing the limelight. A very strong result for Ashmead in this drought season. Bravo.”” – James Halliday
