Description

Rich mulberry nose, some sweet oak flavours - this is a great example of a consumer-happy traditional Aussie Cabernet from the very southern part of the Fleurieu Peninsula. Fruit is sourced from a single vineyard site, the Braeside vineyard.

Melted cherry chocolate on the palate, and some lingering tannins for structure and longetivy - this could last a while.

18 months in French oak, a third new.

    Wonderful repeat

    I first encountered Salomon only this year, and it was their Norwood Cabernet Shiraz blend. That was tremendous value for $25 and I loved this expression of the classic mongrel Australian blend. I was thrilled to discovery the winery’s Austrian/Australian heritage, as I live partly in Austria and love mainly their whites. I immediately ordered a mixed case directly from the Austrian winery and this Finnis River was the top of the bunch - a superb, rich, elegant and fragrant wine. Pleased to find it here.

    Great wine

    Very good value for money. Bold, silky tannins. Lots of menthol notes on the nose, dark fruits on the palate.

    Cracking Cab

    Superb stuff. Everything where it should be. Not as over-ripe/over-extracted as many other Aussie Cabs.

A savoury blackcurrant fruit on the palate. Fine grained tannins establishing its pleasantly earthy style, sure to welcome food. Well integrated oak with firm tannins. Long, nuanced finish. Ageing potential 20 years plus.
