ANOVA Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 shines crimson red, offering intense blackberry and leafy cassis aromas complemented by toasted cedar notes. Its powerful midpalate bursts with rich black and blue fruits, while refined tannins provide drive and persistence. Carefully selected oak adds weight, texture, and hints of spice, making it the ultimate expression of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon with over 10 years of cellaring potential.

Great density of colour, deep red-purple hues; the bouquet is amazing: violets, cassis, briar and blackberry, fully ripe cabernet fruit allied with classy oak. The palate doesn't disappoint: a very full-bodied, concentrated and stylish cabernet, powerful yet elegant, with impressive depth and real gravitas. An outstanding cabernet which should have a long and glorious career. There's a real echo of top-growth Medoc about this phenomenal wine. Top Rank.

Comes from an exceptional season in Coonawarra, a meticulous approach has been taken here with handpicking and selective harvesting on low-yielding vineyards before individual barrels were selected for the final blend. The colour is deep and brilliant and the nose displays a typical blackcurrant nuance with that trace of Coonawarra leafiness. Beautifully integrated chalky fine tannins and perfectly tuned oak play their role in harmonising with the dense yet elegant fruit. A stylish wine with plenty of cellaring time ahead. Although it is mighty good now. Drink by: 2025-2049; Price: $150.00; Rating: 97 Points; Ray Jordan
