I was taken with this wine from first sip. McLaren Vale Cabernet is getting better all the time.

Lonely Grape TV # 147 Oenotria Vintners 2011 Cabernet
Who said you could not make a good Cabernet in 2011? This one was so well looked after that the winemaker basically slept with the wine during vintage.

Lonely Grape TV #142 Possingham & Summers 2009 Cabernet
A new face for an old winery. These guys still over deliver and continue to be little known. With wines like this they will not be unknown for long.

Lonely Grape TV #136 Ruffilli Estate 2009 Cab Merlot Pt 2
Check out my second day tasting of this wine. It changed significantly and showed the wine will have a long life.

Lonely Grape TV #135 Ruffilli Estate 2009 Cabernet Merlot
I am fast becoming a big fan of this family based label. For somebody who is not the biggest Cabernet fan this is another beauty. Check out the rest of my thoughts.

Lonely Grape TV #131 Thorpe Wines 2008 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
As usual Thorpe Wines over deliver on their price point. I have been watching this wine for a couple of years now and I think it is really starting to drink well.

Lonely Grape TV Episode 124 Ruffilli Estates 2009 Reserve Cabernet
What an interesting wine – the 2009 Ruffilli Estates Ambition McLaren Vale Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. What was so interesting was just how improved this wine was by allowing it to breathe. Such a dramatic change. Check out my comments.
