The d'Arenberg The Coppermine Road McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is an exceptional single-vineyard Cabernet crafted from one of McLaren Vale's most prized vineyards, planted to an almost extinct Cabernet clone just metres from the historic d'Arenberg winery. Produced using traditional open fermentation, foot treading, basket pressing and maturation in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barriques, this flagship wine is bottled without fining or filtration, allowing the vineyard's remarkable character to shine through.
Brilliant ruby red in the glass, the bouquet is intensely aromatic with layers of cassis, red cherries, red capsicum and elegant herbal notes of sage and fresh basil. The palate is vibrant and beautifully structured, revealing flavours of maraschino cherry, pomegranate and cranberry, complemented by subtle ferrous minerality, tomato leaf and refined white pepper spice. Fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity and perfectly integrated French oak create a wine of remarkable elegance, depth and persistence, finishing long with exceptional poise. Enjoy now or cellar confidently for up to 20 years.
Awarded Gold and 95 Points at the International Wine & Spirit Competition, Gold Medal at The Global Cabernet Masters, 95 Points from Ken Gargett (WinePilot) and 94 Points from James Suckling, the d'Arenberg The Coppermine Road McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is a superb partner for premium steaks, roast lamb, venison, slow-braised beef and aged hard cheeses.
95 Point Rated - International Wine & Spirit Competition
"Aromas of freshly ground coffee, dark chocolate, blackcurrant, and subtle smoked meat. The palate bursts with a mulberry and vibrant dark fruit intensity, framed by tight, gorgeous tannins. An elegantly long, savoury finish lingers with violet and blackcurrant leaf nuances."
95 Point Rated - Ken Gargett Wine Pilot
"A combination of new and older French oak barrels are used here to complete fermentation of this warmer climate Cabernet. Sure, it might not replicate Bordeaux, but then is there any need to do that? These wines are chock full of flavour. Warm climate Cabernet seems to be a most underrated style. An opaque magenta/maroon hue, it opens with a touch of toasty oak. Aromas emerge of chocolate, animal skins, tobacco leaves, aniseed, blackberries, dry herbs, soy, beef stock and kirsch. A wine of power and concentration with impressive length, this is a muscular style with firm tannins on a lingering finish. Twelve to fifteen years."
94 Point Rated - James Suckling
"Bold aromas of blackcurrants, blackberry compote, blueberries, violets and cedar. The palate is full-bodied with firmly framed tannins and balanced acidity, giving flavors of eucalyptus, iodine and tobacco leaves. Bold, with a stylistic touch."
91 Point Rated - Gabrielle Poy The Real Review
"Intense notes of Bonox, char and roasted fennel take the lead. Cola and blackcurrant jam join in too. Brash and bold aging flavours, stewed plums and leather are contained by a fine yet firm rail of tannins that guides the wine across the palate. It's trying to hold on to its freshness while tertiary notes are beginning to take hold. It's heady and upfront with ample structure. It will benefit from short-term aging, but its boldness is hard to ignore at the moment."
90 Point Rated - Marcus Ellis Halliday Wine Companion
"From low-yielding vines and an apparently almost extinct clone. This is intensely fruited, leaning heavily into classic crème de cassis notes, fringed with a decent hedgerow of herbals. Although this is made to age, and the tannins are typically commanding, it is showing plenty of positive development at this stage. It’s older school of feel, and that will suit many just fine."
