Coldstream Hills 2000 Reserve Cabernet Oct 03 sells for $50 at cellar door. This wine was pick of all of them but I had to taste it very quickly as we were running out of time. It was a clean varietally correct Cabernet with a fruit driven bouquet with some lifted mint. Lovely intense pure rich fruit showing dark chocolate and mint finish with great intensity. The balance is perfect with smooth tannins which provide a good mouth feel and harmonious nature. This is a great result for the 2000 vintage resulting in a power without weight scenario that lingers for ages. Rated as Excellent with *** for value.
