Rich aromas of blackberry and forest floor, followed by a beautiful body with integrated spice and savoury notes, reflecting the dry and concentrated season. Eleven years has softened and rounded the wine; providing the elegance and depth Domaine A is recognised for. Newly released but still promising a long window of enjoyment for many years to come. 86% Cabernet Sauvignon / 7% Cabernet franc / 6% Merlot / 1% Petit verdot

Varietal Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage 2014
Alcohol % 14.5
Reviews The bloodline here is undisputed. Its an estate with a fine pedigree and OG Tasmanian clout. Coal River Valley cabernet sauvignon matured in new French oak for 30 months. Comforting traditional and familiar aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant pastille with notes of Christmas cake spice cedar leather pencil case cold tea licorice dark chocolate pan juices and earth. Elegant graceful and long of flavour with fine powdery tannins and an extended blackcurrant flare on the exit. A classic. - Dave Brookes Halliday Wine Companion 95100Full bottle just 1198 g. Well done for a wine presumably bottled many years ago From the Stoney Vineyard. Minimal intervention. Aged for 30 months in French barriques and bottled unfined and unfiltered.Dark blackish shaded ruby. Lovely nose Such a pleasure to be reminded of pure varietal Cabernet Sauvignon from a top-quality site Wonderfully fragrant. Sweet start and it does hold its alcohol extremely well. No obvious eucalypt. Im not sure whether if served this blind Id immediately think of Australia. So neat and self-contained. The opposite of flashy. Just pure mature fruit. Long. So well done Its nothing like a California Cab and seems much purer than a red bordeaux. Is it the pollution-free atmosphere on Tasmania at play here A real pleasure to taste this. - Jancis Robinson Jancis Robinson 1820

About Domaine-A

Nestled at Stoney Vineyard (the oldest in Tasmania’s famous Coal River Valley), Domaine A boasts the perfect mix of terroir, philosophy, and patience to produce some of the finest wines in Australia. North-facing, temperate and close enough to the coast to catch a sea breeze, Domaine A vines receive some of the longest daylight hours in Australia, allowing for longer vintages of incredible subtlety and intensity. These ideal growing conditions caught the eye of Swiss expatriates Peter and Ruth Althaus as they scoured the southern hemisphere for somewhere to build their dream—a cool-climate alternative to the great estates of France and Germany. After establishing Domaine A, they took their time to produce some of the best big Bordeaux style blends Australia has seen, often waiting over a decade before even considering a vintage for release. This willingness to wait, and an attitude of quality above all else (even the bank account) kept Domaine A quietly at the forefront of Australian winemaking until Peter and Ruth’s retirement in 2018, when they handed over to the new custodians: Moorilla winemaker Conor van der Reest and Mona owner David Walsh.

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,
Judy M
P.S. One Contact, One Process, and One Delivery - customers and wine treated equally and expertly, with care. You really can’t beat that! Great job.

Hi,
Glad to hear my last case from our trip is on its way!
Your service has been very helpful in getting my wine shipped safely to me. All previous four cases arrived safely.
Now I need to order my “wine needs” via internet and use your services again.
Best regards,

Amazing professionalism and kind assistance from Australia Tasting Room!
I was experiencing confusion with a wine order from a winery in Australia and Australia Tasting Room actually intervened to help clarify things. 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.

I received all of the wines. That was certainly quicker than I expected. I appreciate everything that you and Cape Mentelle did to make it easy ship all of the wines to us.

Thank you again for your expedited attention to our order and its shipping. The wine has arrived in wonderful condition, and we shared a bottle with one of our friends on Friday who enjoyed it as much as we did.
We will continue to watch for its availability in our area, and we wish you continued success.
Best regards,
Jerry K.
