Best’s is one of the most loved family-owned wineries in Australia. With a nursery containing some of Australia’s oldest plantings, it is also of great historic importance. Shiraz from this part of the world is among the best in the country, cool climate elegance with depth and body.
Best’s Cabernet Sauvignon is a solid expression of the variety, more red fruit than black. It is a well made wine that will develop well in bottle over several years, but lacks the depth and varietal definition of the better examples of Cabernet from the Yarra Valley, Coonawarra and Margaret River.
2014 BEST’S CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Producer: Best’s
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Great Western, Victoria
ABV: 14.0%
Closure: Screw cap
Retail Price: $30.00
Date tasted: 11 March 2015
Tasting Note:
Deep crimson/cerise in appearance. Brooding nose of kirsch, cassis, mint/menthol and oak char. Dry, medium bodied, the flavour profile reflects the bouquet. Chalky tannins provide the structural framework. Solid, though not as compelling as Shiraz from the same address.
Score: 15.5/20
