VINTAGE: The 2023 vintage was a throwback to the 90’s. A lovely wet winter opened to a mild spring with budburst in the early varieties being up to two weeks later than recent vintages. The spring weather was fine so the late budburst and slower development was not a problem for the early and mid season varieties, but it did cross a few minds that late season varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon might be very late indeed which always carries risk of rain.However, such concerns were mollified as the season continued into March with fine weather and mild conditions that were ideal for steady, consistent ripening. Chardonnay came off a few weeks later than usual but in perfect condition and looked potentially to be the star variety of the whites.The warning signals came in mid-March, when the evenings became noticeably cooler, the mornings crisp and definite physical signs of an early autumn were noticed. Slight changes in leaf colour in both the grapevines and the native plants indicated an early change of season. The weather patterns changed from a summer pattern to an Autumn system with cool fronts moving in from the South and the West. Shiraz, Malbec and Cabernet Franc were harvested before any rain, but the Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot had to withstand multiple brief rain falls before they were picked. Remarkably we suffered no problems with no signs of disease or rain damage in these late varieties.It is perhaps counter-intuitive, but the milder season benefited these late varieties because we saw flavour, colour and tannin development far in advance of accumulated sugar very early in the season. To put it another way the reds were riper in a physiological sense than the sugar readings would suggest. We were able to pick Cabernet Sauvignon at a more modest potential alcohol but with full flavour and colour. I believe we will see brilliant whites and mid bodied, more elegant reds from the 2023 vintage reminiscent of some of the great vintages in the 1990’s. Michael Kerrigan

Tasting Notes
COLOUR Dense dark red to black colour of great intensity. TASTING NOTES This Hay Shed Hill Block 2 Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense blood red with a dark centre. The wine displays ripe berry aromas of great intensity with underlying dusty and earthy characters typical of Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon. There is depth to the nose indicating there are reserves of complex aromas yet to develop and be exhibited in the wine. The palate is substantial this is a big wine by Western Australian standards with intense and fully ripe fleshy sweet fruit filling the mid palate with great palate extension driven by the ripe and mature tannin. The mouthfeel is robust but the tannins are smooth. CELLARING This is a strong wine with ripe tannin and strong fruit depth indicating it will benefit from careful cellaring. The expectation is that the wine would benefit from 10 years maturation. TECHNICAL INFORMATIONVintage 2023Variety Cabernet Sauvignon 100 Alcohol 14.5 Alc. Vol.Growing Region Wilyabrup Margaret River

J Mason
Just a quick note to say I am so glad I found Australia Tasting Room! Since leaving Australia, I have missed some of my favorite wines. I researched other freight companies, but none offered the personal touch service of Australia Tasting Room. You have a great selection from the best vineyards. You added others upon request, and also gave great recommendations when asked. And customer service does not stop with the purchase— The team keep me updated on the shipment every step of the way! I cannot imagine a better service from people who know wine and love to share that knowledge. You have a customer for life! Cheers, J Mason

The wine was delivered by GSO Courier early this am and was in perfect shipping condition. The bottle temperature was cool to the touch which is amazing given we have been hitting 37C every day for the last week here in our California summer.
Well done!
I have put the wine into our temperature controlled bottle storage to let them rest for a week (mostly for the 3 bottles of red). I did put one of the Rosés in the frig which we will try tomorrow because we are out to dinner tonight with friends.
Your Rose of Virginia is my favorite rosé, above French and Californians that we have consumed with Tablas Creek “Dianthus” from near Paso Robles being a second.
Now that we have experienced a shipment from you, I am sure we will order a couple of cases more but will wait until weather is cooler for us and the wine.
Again thanks for an excellent wine and the good service.
Cheers,
Richard A.

The wine arrived last week in good shape - nothing broken or leaked. Your packing design is impressive. Laying it down for a couple of months to settle in. Looking forward to enjoying it. Thanks very much

Australia Tasting Room is a very fine company, with professional direction and management. I appreciate the friendly service, and all your efforts above and beyond to make all deliveries happen. Most impressive were the instant answers and responses any time I had a question. All during a pandemic! Pretty amazing when you think about it.
Highest regards,

And not just with a simple email, but with a phone call!! We spoke directly and sorted out the details. It was a wonderful reminder that chivalry and quality customer service still exists!! We will use them in a heartbeat!!

Our twelve pack of Tasmanian treats arrived yesterday afternoon without a scratch on them! Now we get to enjoy drinking them with family and friends. Hopefully we can toast some excellent defensive draft picks by the Packers soon!
Thanks for an excellent experience with Australia Tasting Room!
If you ever find yourself in Wisconsin, let us know. We're only an hour away from Lambeau.
