Wine Advocate | Rating: 95
The full-bodied 2015 Sandown Cabernet Sauvignon is packed with blueberries and cassis flavors, which pick up delightful notes of baking spices on the lively, zesty finish. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it should drink well sooner than the 2014 and last longer.
Owner Roman Bratasiuk shows a devotion to the simple tenets that yield some of the best Shiraz fruit grown in Australia. From the flagship Astralis vineyard, he hand-harvests fruit from over 75-year-old dry-farmed vines and allows the indigenous yeasts to work their magic. The resultant wine is unctuous and viscous, yet harmonized, and expresses those elements which define the essence of great Shiraz - black fruit, bramble, super concentrated cassis and spice, undercurrents of tobacco, coffee and licorice root.
Clarendon Hills also produces wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Semillon.
