Rockford Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
The best wine under this label for many a year is gentle and fine-grained, with deep flavours and a finely balanced structure. Scented with earthy aromas of cassis, mulberries, fresh cedar/vanilla oak backed by suggestions of dried herbs and red flowers, itÕs evenly paced and supported by fine, bony tannins. Its deep, luscious core of small berry and plum flavour knits tightly with chocolatey oak, smoothly building flavour and firmness towards its long and measured finish.

Winery
Rockford
Rockford is a dedicated small Barossa maker and a committed supporter of the regionŐs small vineyards and their owners. Its wines are made with a refreshing disregard for trends and fashion and are bottled without artefact or manipulation. That is not to suggest that they are made and assembled without great care, experience and dedication, but these are essentially ÔnaturalŐ wines that faithfully reflect their sites and seasons. The new releases contain an elegant and surprisingly compete Basket Press Shiraz from 2011, plus from 2012 the finest collection of 'lesser' reds for several years. Furthermore, the latest disgorging of Black Shiraz is a classic.
