Deen Vat 9 Cabernet Sauvignon (2006)

"Green, leafy cabernet fruit nose - some leathery notes. Supple palate with sweet fruit persistence."

“Has more depth and weight than many at or near this price point; blackcurrant and fine tannins are varietal.”

“The 2006 Vat 9 features cassis and black currant aromas and flavors.
It has a bit more complexity and length than Vat 8.”

Robert Parker, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (USA), September 2008

"The very appealing, open nose shows clear-cut varietal fruit. The palate is soft and marginally sweet, offering very pleasant drinking."

"There's no mistaking that this wine is made entirely from Coonawarra fruit. Its red berry and capsicum flavours parade its regionality on its sleeve. With integrated tannins and a soft finish, it's drinking beautifully now. Loads of cabernet bang for not many bucks."

Tyson Stelzer, WBM100, October 2007
