Domaine A Cabernet Sauvignon
Coal River Valley
Price Range at Release: $100-$199
Vintage: 2012
Alc %: 13.8
$ Rel: 110
A rustic, warmer season vintage whose dusty bouquet of cassis, blackberries, dark plums and cedary oak reveals notes of graphite and mineral. Firm and drying, it's fractionally baked but unfolds a moderately long and faintly hard-dged palate that lacks great polish and finesse.

Winery
Domaine A
Domaine A is the label for the small volumes of handcrafted top echelon wines from the Stoney Vineyard in the Coal River Valley established by Peter Althaus and now owned by Moorilla Estate's David Walsh. Extraordinarily for a Tasmanian vineyard, its most consistent performer is its Cabernet Sauvignon, which in more vintages than not has acquired the depth of flavour and structure one might expect from a fine Bordeaux growth. It is way too early to see the influence of this brand's new winemaking team headed by Conor van de Reest, but I remain very confident that the vineyard is again in excellent hands.
