The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 wine is deep garnet in colour with high clarity. The nose is very aromatic, displaying primary characters of cassis and dark berries with subtle hints of dried herbs. The palate is medium bodied and generous, showing fine tannins, highlighted by flavours of blackcurrant, mint and morello cherries. As with previous releases of 'The Cover Drive', the wine displays harmonious balance and can be enjoyed now or will reward cellaring for 5 years.Fruit from this vineyard, along with selected parcels of fruit from our family owned Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the Clare Valley have been blended to produce a wine that is rich, soft and approachable.The hidden geological treasure of porous limestone under the rich terra rossa soil creates the ideal cellar by storing water for later use.

If you are after an exceptional Australian wine – do not look further!
The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 wine is quite strong - at 14% alcohol but it does not feel that way when you drink it.I must agree with the winemakers description: the colour is deep dark red yet very clear and the wine itself has strong aroma when drunk at room temperature (definitely do not drink it below 15 or 16 C).I am not a sommelier thus find it difficult to give a good enough account of how pleasant this wine is. The taste is very smooth yet bold and I can definitely taste all of what was described: dark berries, hit of herbs and kirsh cherries.deep garnet in colour with high clarity.

It is not the cheapest, but if you want an exceptional Australian wine – do not look further!
