Judged as number 2 in the Adelaide Review’s Hot 100 South Australian Wines for 2013.

 

It’s over the top, but wow, there’s so much interest and complexity here – super concentrated, deeply coloured and gloriously perfumed. Superb show of richness in an unctuous, life-affirming sweet fluid. And so fresh! Deconstructed crème brulee with a purity that makes for super drinkability. Exotic honey, citrus rind and cut apricot make it a sinful, hedonistic pleasure.

No.5 Wicks Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 /product/wicks-estate-cabernet-sauvignon-2012/ /product/wicks-estate-cabernet-sauvignon-2012/#respond Tue, 29 Oct 2013 20:56:39 +0000 http://apothecary.wildcreaturedevelopment.com/?post_type=product&p=181 Adelaide Hills

 

Judged as number 5 in the Adelaide Review’s Hot 100 South Australian Wines for 2013.

 

Running through blackberry bushes, this juvenile red imbues all the sappiness of bramble while celebrating each plucked berry of black. Tobacco leaf, hickory and cassis fruit, there’s plenty of persistence and depth to show how far the wine will go. A rugged finesse, almost granular, but meshed and lashed to the wild briar of fruit.

Judged as number 6 in the Adelaide Review’s Hot 100 South Australian Wines for 2013.

 

You could lose afternoon hours at a bar with this wine’s strawberries squashed into a harlot’s lipstick-stained mouth. You’ll need some cured meats and a few cheeky grins as company. Musky, raw and soft with a mix of pulpy and fresh fruit. It’s fresh and it will blossom in the glass. Cranberry tang finishes the wine overlain the sweetness of the red fruit upfront.

Judged as number 7 in the Adelaide Review’s Hot 100 South Australian Wines for 2013.

 

Showing tangy, pithy, grapefruit flavours and a hint of briny tang for freshness, the work in the shed shows in gunflint and smoke. Cedary oak veils the sheathed white orchard fruit characters.
