Balnaves Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 Goodness me, some of these 2007 vintage wines are very concentrated. Here’s another one that needed at least a day’s breathing (in bottle) before coming round. Beautiful smelling wine - blackberry, Cassis, licorice and cedar wood with a light floral perfume. It’s full bodied and very dense with rich chocolate and blackcurrant flavours - concentrated and strong. The tannins grip firmly, initially with a black tea bitterness to them, but given time do relax somewhat and settle back into the wine. No shortage of length or intensity. A brooding and moody Balnaves. Drink : 2014 - 2024 94 points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front Balnaves now command a five star rating from James Halliday which is now suprised considering the quality of the last five vintages of Cabernet that Balnaves have produced. - Anthony D'Anna Drawn from a little over 16 hectares of estate plantings, the majority of the grapes are sold to other leading Coonawarra winemakers. The '96 won the trophy for Best Varietal Cabernet in Show at the 1998 Royal Sydney Wine Show, and the '98 is every bit as good. – James Halliday
