Helm Premium Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Floral and delicate with a perfume of violets cassis dark plums and faintly cedary vanilla oak and a lean medium to full-bodied palate whose piercing black-fruited cranberry and blueberry-like flavours are backed by restrained oak and supported by a loose-knit spine of drying tannins Its acids are a little assertive and out of balance and the wine does lack genuine flavour ripeness

Helm
Ken Helm is a champion of the riesling variety who has steadily refined his art at his Canberra vineyard. While the occasionally Old Worldly cabernets can struggle for ripeness, 2013 and 2014 appear to have delivered another fine white vintage with a stellar Classic Dry Riesling, with typical intensity, focus and purity. At their finest, Helm rieslings can be world class.
