Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
An elegant, longer-term cabernet in the traditional Tahbilk style whose delicate, lightly floral scents of black and red berries are gently backed by restrained cedary oak. It’s long and finely structured, with a brightly lit presence of small black and red berries playing long and soft down a fine-grained, drying backbone, finishing with freshness and suppleness.

Winery
Tahbilk
Tahbilk is an historic vineyard and winery on the banks of the Goulburn River in central Victoria. The winery is blessed with large old cellars replete with very large old cooperage, which Alister Purbrick feels is essential to the make-up and identity of Tahbilk red wine. So to some extent Tahbilk is a museum piece -Ę to visit and to taste -Ę but this simply lends individuality and character. The estate is home to some significant old vineyards responsible for such regional classics as the 1860s Vines Shiraz and the 1927 Vines Marsanne, each of which can produce vintages of rare quality and longevity.
