About this winei

Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon releases are crafted with a commitment to traditional winemaking values. Fermentation takes place in original open vats well over 150 years old, with maturation then in similarly aged large French oak prior to bottling. Smaller French and American oak barrels are also used, with the wine from these blended back during the final filtering and bottling.

Tahbilk Estate releases have consistently exhibited considerable richness and character. As young wines bright and fruit-forward aromas and flavours of forest herbs, black olive, eucalypt, blackcurrant and Asian spices and firm, but fine-grained, tannins are at the fore.

Then with age our history with the varietal supports the belief held by many experts that our Cabernet Sauvignon is the best performed of the Tahbilk reds in terms of ability to develop added character with time in the cellar. The tannins soften, earthy characters substitute for bright fruit but there is a complex and subtle fruit line that extends across the years.

In its youth beef and lamb, particularly with heavier more complex dishes and sauces, are go to classic food matches with Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon ... both meats would work well as it ages, but look to simpler dishes and sauces.

Tasting Notei

Tahbilk 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon
Halliday 92 Points | Enjoy Now to 2036/2038
The stellar rated 2021 vintage has delivered a Cabernet Sauvignon where it is the richness of fruit that resonates.

Deep cassis, mint and dark plum aromas and flavours are nuanced with bay leaf, black olive and clove notes.
Fine grained tannins will support further complexity to develop out to 2036/2038 should you have the willpower to not just savour this true-to-Estate Cabernet Sauvignon now.

Tahbilk 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon
Halliday 92 Points | Enjoy Now to 2032/2037
Rated as a year producing 'terrific Reds', notes of mint and cassis, alongside black olive and herb notes, instantly identify this as a Tahbilk Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. A sturdily constructed palate of blackcurrant and dark plum fruits supported by firm but not intrusive tannins complete its identikit picture.
Offering delicious current enjoyment, but with proven cellaring potential which will see additional complexity develop out to 2032/2037.

Tahbilk 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon (As reviewed on release)
Halliday 93 Points | Enjoy Now to 2035/2040

“Elegant, fresh and linear. Purple red in colour of medium depth. It’s all fresh, blackcurrant and blackberry, pie-like vanilla crust with a sprinkle of vanilla. The cooler season bringing more precise and higher contrast fruit with slightly chalky tannins. The framework more refined, the result better."

Tahbilk 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (As reviewed on release)
Halliday 91 Points | Enjoy Now to 2028/2032
“You certainly get a whole lot of bang for your buck with this Estate grown wine, which is powerful and dark with spice, herbs and mint characteristics all contributing to the product, along with classy French oak. The Purbricks say this will cellar for a decade or more but it would be delicious right now with a weekend lamb roast.”
Winsor Dobbin

Tahbilk 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon
Enjoy Now to 2027/2029
"The nose is intense and concentrated cassis, blackcurrant and green herbal characters. The cassis and blackcurrant features on the palate where the green herbal character of tomato leaf and mint are dominate. The wine is true to the varietal, lifted on the front of the palate and the mouth puckering tannins follow through on the back palate. Time is still very much on its side … enjoy now or drink over the next 4-6 years."
Holly Cusworth | Tahbilk Cellar Door Manager | September 2023
