WINE OF THE WEEK

WINE OF THE WEEK
Kaesler Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 - Continuing the theme of Cabernet for winter is this delicious example from the Barossa.

Kaesler was established in 1893. The estate has changed hands a couple of times since then but at the core of the property is large parcel of vines over 40 years old, affectionately known as 'The Old Bastards'.


A great example of Barossa Cabernet.

The Kaesler style is to make succulent and seductive reds that are charming and flavoursome while style offering density and complexity. This wine delivers this and more. Normally I avoid Cabernet from hot climates, such as the Barossa. However these guys have managed to meld their silky house style with the lean acid and firm tannins that I look for in good Cabernet. This wine is drinking well now but will develop some more leather and earthy characters over the next few years.

$30.00ea and cheaper by the dozen.
