PROUDLY SELLING RAY JORDAN’S TOP 100 TODAY. Katnook Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 Great year for cabernet and this is one of the finest examples. So immensely powerful yet with typical Coonawarra finesse and elegance. Deep and rich with lavish texture coming from the ripe fruit and use of predominantly French oak with a little dab of American. Ripe tannins and fine grained oak feature prominently. There is some typical Coonawarra mint on the nose working with the red berry characters. Will handle extended cellaring. Score: 96/100 West Cape Howe Cabernet Merlot 2011 You simply won’t find many better cab merlot blends than this under $20, full stop. Rich and dark fruit presented with a precise and focused elegance and poise. It’s what this style is all about. Has the richness and depth with admirable intensity yet it all happens so effortlessly. A cracking wine. Score: 94/100 Deep Woods Ebony Cabernet Shiraz 2011 Consistently one of the very best wines in this price point and this is absolutely one of the best. Comes from the ever expanding Peter Fogarty wine portfolio. Fine and balanced with a poise and fruit expression you expect from high priced wines. A class act at this price point.
