2018 Mountadam Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
$28.00
Mountadam Vineyards Eden Valley range is an expression of the purity of cool climate varietals from Estate plantings. Eden Valley Cabernet is greatly underrated showing lovely florals of violets, dark brambly fruits and fine supple tannins.

Professional Reviews
From Mountadam's High Eden vineyard at 550m elevation. Extended post-ferment maceration for 18 days; matured in 60% new French oak barriques. Cabernet was evidently in a happy place high in the Mountadam vineyard in '18, displaying an integrity, balance and concentration that can only come from long, slow ripening. It's at once varietal and generous, with a textbook array of red/blackcurrants, cassis, roast capsicum and cedar trailing all the way to the distant horizon. Ripe, fine, confident tannins and seamless, bright acidity guarantee longevity. For all it represents, this is a bargain.- Tyson Stelzer, James Halliday Wine Companion 95 points
