Wow, what an amazing Cabernet Sauvignon, lush and mouth-filling with black currant, black and blueberry, earthy florals and minty flavours layered on the palate. Finishing long and luxurious. Enjoy now with a grilled ribeye steak.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: pork tenderloin, hodge-podge, grilled burgers, barbecued steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Tahbilk 2016 is a fresh, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from the Nagambie Lakes, Victoria wine region. Look for fresh, ripe black currant, blackberry, earthy and savoury herb flavours on this mouth-filling Cab Sauv. matured 18 months in French oak barrels. The 70 acre estate vineyard is certified carbon neutral and the winery traces its winemaking roots back to 1860 with the founding of the winery estate and vineyards. It was purchased by modern day owner winemaker's great grandfather Reginald Purbrick in 1925 and since then five generations of the family have been involved.- Community Wine Reviews
