Huon Hooke
(Clare Valley & Coonawarra) This is a departure for Taylors cabernet, a brilliant wine which doesn't taste particularly like Clare. (It has some Coonawarra cabernet franc and merlot in it). There are herb and peppermint aromas and some crushed leafy and raspberry high notes that remind of cabernet franc. Violet and cassis aromas. A hint of tamarillo or tomato bush, too. Three years in new French barriques has barely marked the wine. The palate is where it comes into its own, with tremendous intensity and tightly-focused flavour, wonderful purity and extraordinarily fine, but very abundant, tannins. The harmony and length are impeccable. The oak is seamless and tannins are very present but unobtrusive. A great wine and possibly the best cabernet yet made at Taylors.

Winemaker, Adam Eggins, accepted the rather daunting task of creating a wine that would "stand tall against Mouton-Rothschild" to celebrate Taylor's 50th anniversary. At AUD $1, 000, it is believed to be Australia's most expensive current vintage cabernet sauvignon. A blend of Clare Valley and Coonawarra grapes, with a touch of merlot and cabernet franc. It's certainly a very impressive wine with great power that is delivered with finesse. More Lamborghini than Ford Mustang. The wine has the classic cabernet markers of mint, cassis and cedar with a strong influence of decadently spicy French oak that's fairly prominent at this early stage. Texturally it's an absolute winner - teasingly fine-grained. A wine for the cellar. Very collectible (1080 bottles made - each presented encased in a three-pronged sculpture and sealed with a key and micro-chip to guarantee authenticity.

Taylors was established in 1969, three generations ago when Bill Taylor senior and his sons found a site on the Wakefield River in the Clare Valley. The site was 178 hectares on famed terra rossa, red brown loam over limestone soil, perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon, combined with the Clare Valley climate of warm days and cool nights, creating precision and structure in their wines. Taylors are part of Australia’s First Families of Wine, twelve Australian winemaking families that represent the legacy that shaped the foundations of the Australian wine industry. Five different selections in their range, Promised Land, Eighty Acres (carbon emissions are offset), Taylors Estate, TWP (Taylors Winemakers Project), Jaraman, St Andrews, their benchmark wine. Most classic varieties are represented in the Taylors range, including the lesser-known varietals of Vermentino and Tempranillo, their reputation being quality driven wines representing all price points.
