Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This wine forms part of Clarendon Hills' "1er Cru" classification.

Elegant fruit and finely worked oak use always headline this ballerina-esque perfume. A lifted Cabernet expression that is always approachable early and offers supreme enjoy ability in its first 15 years of life.

Professional Ratings

    Focused, vibrant and juicy, with green olive-scented black cherry and blackberry flavors, finishing with a decidedly savory cast. The tannins are well-integrated and the fruit emerges beautifully as the finish lingers.
  • 91
    Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2008 Brookman Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon displays intense aromas of creme de cassis, pencil lead, tree bark, cedar, cassia and a whiff of choco-mint. Very crisp, rich, full and firm it has taut, fine-grained tannins and a long juicy finish.
  • 91
    Slightly firmer and more structured than the other two Clarendon Hills Cabernets from 2008, the Brookman Cabernet also delivers slightly more herbal aromas and flavors than its counterparts. There’s classic Ribena-like cassis, but additional shadings of dried herb and tobacco impart a crisp, slightly astringent edge to the finish.

Clarendon Hills Winery Video

Clarendon Hills is a small family-run winery based in Clarendon, South Australia. The company was founded by biochemist, Roman Bratasiuk, in 1990. The story of Clarendon Hills is one of passion, dedication and commitment to exception wine. It all began when this biochemist and wine lover decided to produce his own wine. Though he'd never trained as a winemaker, Roman let himself be guided by his refined palate and scientific knowledge. Following his favorite producers and preferred styles, Roman sought to make a version of the wines he loved.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Known for opulent red wines with intense power and concentration, McLaren Vale is home to perhaps the most “classic” style of Australian Shiraz. Vinified on its own or in Rhône Blends, these hot-climate wines are deeply colored and high in extract with signature hints of dark chocolate and licorice. Cabernet Sauvignon is also produced in a similar style.

Whites, often made from Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc tend to be opulent and full of tropical, stone and citrus fruit.
