🍷 Appearance
Deep crimson with a dark, насыщated core and vibrant intensity in the glass.

Classic and expressive, showing blackcurrant, cassis and dark cherry with lifted notes of mint, lavender and subtle dried herbs. Hints of cedar, tobacco leaf and spice add complexity and structure.

Medium to full-bodied, delivering concentrated black fruit flavours of blackberry, plum and cassis. The palate is layered with notes of dark chocolate, cedar and spice, showcasing both Barossa richness and varietal definition.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Fine-grained tannins provide structure while remaining supple and polished. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, graphite and subtle savoury oak.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon—rich, structured and fruit-driven with a balance of ripe dark fruit and savoury complexity. Combines power with elegance, making it both approachable now and suitable for short to medium-term cellaring.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled steak, roast lamb, beef dishes or aged cheeses. Also excellent with slow-cooked meals and hearty winter fare.

BBD Verdict
A beautifully balanced Barossa Cabernet that delivers depth, structure and classic varietal character. A standout for mixed dozens when you want a reliable, full-flavoured red that consistently performs.
