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 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon
Enjoy Now to 2035/2040 | 14.0% Alcohol
Faced with a challenging growing season, that included a 1 in 100-year flood event, the 2023 vintage delivered wines of great depth of flavour and character … releases we are justifiably proud to share.
Standing tall among them is our Cabernet Sauvignon.
A very much true to Estate offering with fruit driving its appeal. Crushed dark and blue berries, earth and bay leaf inputs, mint and baking spices; all contribute to a stylish wine of persistence and charm.

Tahbilk 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon
Halliday 91 Points | Enjoy Now to 2029/2035 | 14.0% Alcohol
A vintage that delivered rich and deeply flavoured Estate fruit that was then completed with traditional Tahbilk red winemaking practices, have shaped this 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon. Concentrated blackcurrant and dark plum fruits sit deliciously alongside mint, black olive and forest herb notes with time now spent in the bottle adding a subtle earthy/savoury backdrop. Time is very much still on its side. 

Tahbilk 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
Halliday 92 Points | Enjoy Now to 2030/2034 | 14.0% Alcohol
Great colour evolution reflecting time spent in bottle. Aged, also known as secondary, characters immediately hit the nose. Forest floor, mulch, freshly picked mushrooms. The fruit is dried; dried blueberries, dried figs, dried goji berries. Subtle charred oak creating depth of aromas on the nose. Their is a youthfulness on the palate still shining through, lifted by tart blueberry and cranberry juice. More of the dried secondary notes on the palate ... savoury black truffle and charred oak. This aged Cabernet Sauvignon is full of complexity and tannins providing a lovely backbone to the wine and supporting further development.
