Highbank 2004 Coonawarra

highbank-coonawarraIn Episode 001, we tasted the 2004 Highbank Coonawarra blend.

Despite the fact that I mangled the cork, this decade-old wine came through with complex and powerful strains of fruit and violets.

If you can find this wine, make sure you try some.

Dennis Vice has run this winery for many years and it is an organic winery where great care is taken to capture the terroir; everything about this wine screams Coonawarra Terra Rossa soil.

Even Brett, who was shocked at first by its power and cork floaties, went on to concede that this drop was superb.

This blend consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
