Errazuriz Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 A dark purple coloured wine with good colour concentration. Pretty inviting right of the bat. On the nose the wine is a little Captain Caveman [one dimensional and not terribly sophisticated] There are jammy super ripe black fruits which are soft and lush. There was a hint of over-extraction on nose with some [...]

There’s a lot of gold medals on the bottle but I’m not quite convinced. For me it’s “hi ho Silver” rather than “Gold Jerry, Gold”. At least on this tasting, from this bottle. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post

Last week we experimented with an incentive…order a certain dollar amount, and get a bonus bottle with your order. We started off with a bang (or maybe a shake) with some wines from Mollydooker. It was a great success — all the Gigglepot Cab is gone, though nobody really went for the sparkling Shiraz — [...]

100% Cabernet Franc from Veneto (yes Italian!), this shows all the great character of the varietal. Beautifully aromatic with great fruit and flowers, the palate is loaded with dark fruits and slight floral and herbal hints with a lush and smooth feel. This is an organic producer with very small distribution. Aged in concrete vats for 1 year. Total Production: 6000 bottles. Alfono Soranzo was a horn...

California's most widely grown red grape variety is Cabernet Sauvignon. The Central Coast region is no exception, though Cabernet is produced by more wineries in its northern portion, including Paso Robles. Most of the bottlings recommended from our tasting...

This is a decent wine but it’s for hard-core cabernet - Claret - lovers only. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post

If you read French, you can see what for yourself what the Guide Hachette has to say about the lovely pure Cabernet Franc “Les Puys” that we buy from Wilfrid Rousse in Chinon. (We do have the 2006 vintage reviewed as well as the 04 shown online). If not, take it from me it’s a [...]

Offers gorgeous fruit purity, with ripe, fleshy, plush plum, currant and black cherry flavors that are framed and supported by lively acidity and firm tannins. It all adds up to a rich, concentrated, focused wine that's intense yet elegant and beautifully balanced. Best from 2009 to 2015. 2,004 cases made.

I apologise for my attempt to deceive you by posting rubbish relating to nothing much and calling it a legitimate blog post. I am drinking red wine from the bottle. Hardys’ Cabernet Merlot, if you [...]

Mature hue. Reticent bouquet at first, but, bit by bit, aromas of roasted herbs, capsicum, cigar box, tar/bitumen, lead pencil, blood, hints of blackcurrant and licorice started to rise. Bloody beautiful wine to nose. A little later, a lick of creosote, some freshly turned sod, a dab of this, a touch of this - hope [...]

When Silver Oak Cellars , noted Cabernet producer, venerable barrel chai burned in 2006, the cult winery could have rebuilt it to maintain the same comfortable look. Instead, one year later, the Duncan family decided bulldoze everything to the ground and start from scratch. With more than 35 years of experience making wine at the site, they decided to do things right. Almost completed, just the new...

Aromas of toasty oak and ripe fruit lead to a full body, with a solid core of fruit and a chewy finish. Needs some time to come around. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best after 2011. 12,000 cases made.

Good quaffing red that could do with another couple of years in bottle to soften - and drink at its best. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
