Zema Estate Family Selection Coonawarra Cabernet 2018
An aged Coonawarra Cabernet from the best vintage in 26 years or less than $50! Say hello to Zema Estate Family Selection Coonawarra Cabernet 2018.
To find a 6 year old cabernet is a hard task these days. So imagine my surprise when I released that I could put this offer together. And what makes this even better, Coonawarra had one of their very best vintages in 2018, rated 10/10 by Halliday. You need to go all the waw back to 1998 so see such a good vintage.
"Curls of flavour-soaked tannin. Currants with clear inlays of dry tobacco, herbs, aniseed and dust. A general juiciness to the flow and yet it still feels as though it's a wine to be taken seriously. All the angles and characters of this wine are positive. It's a very good release, with an excellent future ahead." Rating: 95 Points and Special Value. Campbell Mattinson. Halliday Wine Companion.
"This is a seriously good Coonawarra Cabernet and a very well-priced one. A case or two of this in the cellar for a decade and you’ll look like a genius. Similar winemaking as for the Family Shiraz, again with two years oak maturation. The wine is from a brilliant vintage and has had time to develop complexity. An opaque vibrant purple, this is a touch more austere than the Shiraz at this early stage, but just as exciting. We have notes of blackberries, cigar boxes, aniseed, dried herbs, roast meats and cassis. This has fine structure and focus, very fine, sleek but firm tannins and exemplary length. The oak influence is handled immaculately in a wine that will provide pleasure for the next ten to fifteen years." Rating: 95 Points. Ken Garret. Wine Pilot.
