Kilikanoon Blocks Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Kilikanoon is absolutely killing it! Do they make an underwhelming wine? We’ve tasted almost everything they’ve produced and can confidently say ‘no’. So it’s perhaps the world’s smallest surprise that this cabernet rocks. It’s sourced from two elevated vineyards in the Clare, undergoing a basket press and 16 months in seasoned oak. Think texture over toastiness, although the hints of char are still there. Cherries, blackberries, cassis and capsicum intertwine, meeting varietal expectations. The wine finishes with polished tannins and length, further driving home the point that Kilikanoon is amongst the Clare’s (and Australia’s) best.
