Succulent, juicy in a way, a web of fine, firming tannins build through the wine, delightfully. Fantastic drinking.

About The Wine
Helm is known for two things: Riesling and Cabernet.
While it may be the white wines that have gained Ken the most acclaim, his Cabernet in particular is absolutely worth a look.
It's a soft approachable wine, beautifully open and expressive. Given the easy drinkability of it on release, it's quite remarkable how well it develops in the cellar.
This is pitch perfect medium-bodied Cabernet. Ready to drink ASAP or in a decade plus.

From The Producer
Cabernet Sauvignon is a speciality of Helm Wines and the Canberra District is perfectly suited to growing this wonderful variety. They planted their vines in 1973. Helm Wines has been successfully making Cabernet sauvignon and Cabernet blends since 1979 and has attracted numerous wine show awards and favourable critic reviews. The Canberra District region has similarities to Bordeaux and is influenced by evening easterly winds in summer (known as Bateman’s breath) which ensure cool nights and bring a hint of salt from the ocean (at Bateman’s Bay).

Critic Reviews
"Medium weight, dark berry, mint and green herbs, a bit of saltbush and caraway seeds. Flavours and scents match. Succulent, juicy in a way, a web of fine, firming tannins build through the wine, delightfully. Fantastic drinking." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
