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.

Juicy berry and cherry flavors are elegant and restrained, with cedar and spice notes that join the tobacco-laced tannins that firm up on the finish. Drink now through 2029. 400 cases made, 60 cases imported.
