2022 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
Mountadam is doing very good things when it comes to shaping plush, contemporary-styled wines from their vineyards way up in the High Eden (at around 550m above sea level). The fruit purity on display is really something and there is a balance here, despite the higher alcohol level. Ripe blackberry and blackcurrant fruits with hints of briar, dried citrus blossom, roast capsicum, fine spice and cedar all come into play with fine, self-assured tannins and lacy acidity finishing long and bright.
