The 2016 Ashmead Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon features gently herbal notes of bay leaf and sage accenting deep cassis fruit. From a top-notch vintage for Barossa Cabernet, it's medium to full-bodied, with a structure of fine-grained tannins and varietal restraint, a smooth, streamlined feel and a lingering finish.

Attractive floral perfume and dried spices with blackcurrants and ripe plums. The palate has a deep, plush and dark-fruited core of very ripe tannin and baked-berry flavor. Drink now. Screw cap.
