Description

This wine is truly exceptional and provides excellent value, having received an impressive 95 points from James Halliday and being ranked among the Top 100 Australian Wines of 2022. Winemaker Alex Head has been eagerly anticipating the release of a straight Cab Sav, and this wine stylistically combines the best of Barossa Cabernet richness with Bordeaux’s class and arrogance. It also won a Gold Medal at the Barossa Wine Show. While all the Head Red wines are elegant, balance is equally crucial, and this wine strikes a perfect balance. With grassy Cabernet aromas on the nose, the star of the show is the expert management of tannins, resulting in a flood of blackcurrant and cassis flavors in the mouth, along with plums and other dark fruits. This wine is delicious when young but can be cellared for up to 15 years. For best results, serve with Filet Mignon, leg of lamb, or rich game.
