Wolf Blass Platinum Label Cabernet Sauvi

  1. Wolf Blass Platinum Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (6x 750mL).

Wine Summary Image

The distinctive terroir of the Medlands vineyard is uniquely expressed through this fine, complex cabernet sauvignon, which displays intense varietal character, focus and precision on the palate, long, textural tannins and an elegant line.

The distinguished Medlands Vineyard lies within an exceptional pocket of ground at Dorrien on the central north Barossa Valley floor, a site renowned for growing outstanding fruit. Gently sloping towards the North Para River, the microclimate benefits from cooling breezes flowing down-river from the foothills and enjoys optimum sunlight, low rainfall and low humidity.

The vineyard is comprised of ancient soils ranging from loamy sands over light clays to sandy loams over medium clays, laid down 5 million years ago when an uplift of the Eastern ranges and a sinking of the valley floor caused the central valley to fill with sediments. This unique terroir results in complex, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon with intense varietal character.

Expert Reviews

James Halliday

97 Points

A sibling of the Medlands Shiraz. This, too, is not traditional Blass style: single vineyard, single variety, controlled oak, controlled alcohol. This doesn't open its arms and wrap you in its gown - you need to treat it cautiously, and if you do you'll be surprised by the classic varietal character.

Winery Tasting Notes

Aroma

Dark aromatics of black cherry and blackcurrant express both terroir and variety, with undertones of tobacco, wild herbs and fine French oak.

Palate

Complex and opulent, with the fine, layered structure, purity and finesse we have come to expect of the Medlands Vineyard. The palate is focused and precise, with long, textural tannins and an elegant line.

Cellaring Potential

Peak Drinking: Now to 2040.

Winery Profile

Award Winning Winery

Wolf Blass Wines has grown from a humble tin shed to become one of the world's most successful and awarded wineries.

Wolf Blass was created in 1973 when Wolf started his own business, purchasing a 2.5 acre land holding with an old army shed outside Nuriootpa, at the northern end of the Barossa Valley.

In researching the name Bilyara, Wolf learned it was the Aboriginal name for "Eaglehawk" and given the eagle was also the national emblem of Germany, he decided his wines would carry the Eagle - a legacy that continues today and into the future.

Wolf Blass Wines won three consecutive Jimmy Watson Trophies with Black Label, generating substantial publicity and hype. In 1999, Wolf Blass Black Label made history, becoming the only wine to win the coveted Jimmy Watson Trophy an unprecedented four times.

From this time onwards, growth has been impressive and inspiring with Wolf Blass winning a grand total of more than 3,000 awards at national and international wine shows, including most recently, International Red Winemaker of the Year at the 2008 International Wine Challenge in London.

Wolf Blass Wines have a tradition of quality, character and consistency from the refined and elite Platinum Label, and the majestic and complex Black Label through to delicate Rieslings and crisp Chardonnays.
