Schoolhouse Headmaster Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 $165/Dozen @ Skye Cellars

70

If you search around this originally sold at around $80/bottle. Supposedly. Skye have the RRP as $55/bottle and TBH I think that's more on the money.

If you like Coonawarra Cab Sav this is one of the best bargains you can get at under $14/bottle. I think this is the 3rd case I've bought. Gave 7 or 8 bottles away and those people have all bought it as well.

Everything about this wine screams classic, familiar, pleasing Coonawarra cabernet, its aromatics lifted with cassis and mint chocolate, reverbing as you drink with a full-bodied backbone holding everything in place. Vibrant, dark berry fruit flavours, deftly supported by good oak without dominating, and discernible yet mild tannins to finish. Very tidily delivered for a terrific Coonawarra cabernet experience for all comers.

Tony Love – Wine Pilot

A wonderful rendition of the variety; the immediately appealing bouquet shows cassis, floral, cedar and subtle spice notes with a touch of tobacco complexity. It's concentrated and flavoursome on the palate, delivering excellent fruit purity and persistency. Opulent and stylish at the same time, offering terrific drinking. At its best: now to 2034.

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

From the winery:

Intense blackcurrant and black plum, with notes of spice and cooling dried herbs. Ripe dark fruit, fine tannins and underlying toasty oak nuances create an intense and harmonious wine that reflects the Coonawarra terroir at its best.
