Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Blockbuster Canernet Sauvignon from Australia. Blended together and placed in American oak barriques for 18 month wood maturation. Once bottled the Cabernet was allowed to settle for 4 months prior to release. It is a typical dense vibrant coloured Kays red with abundant rich berry flavours and balancing tannins.

"The outstanding 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged primarily in old wood) is a formidably concentrated, highly extracted, opaque ruby/purple-colored effort revealing notes of cassis, leather, earth, and spice. With a sweet attack as well as mid-palate, and a long, powerful, moderately tannic finish, it will be at its finest between 2004-2014."
-Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Kay Brothers, Australia
Kay Brothers Colin Kay with Sam in Block 6 Winery Image

Established in 1890 by Australian born brothers Herbert and Frederick Kay, it is the oldest McLaren Vale

winery still in the hands of the founding family, with Herbert’s grandson Colin Kay continuing the family

winemaking tradition. Bordering St. Vincent’s Gulf, 24 miles south of Adelaide, the Kay Brothers

McLaren Vale vineyards grace the rolling foothills of the Southern Mt. Lofty Ranges. The winery is

located at the top of a hill three miles from the McLaren Vale Township and the cellar door, which is part

of the original winery complex, boasts some stunning panoramic views of the surrounding picturesque

valleys and hillsides.

The Kays are specialists of traditional grape growing and winemaking, utilizing grapes from their own 54

acre vineyards to produce their wines. The main grape variety grown is Shiraz (including the 1892

planted Block 6) followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Grenache, Mataro (Mourvedre) and Muscat

Blanc. Colin’s winemaking philosophy is to make rich full-bodied fruit-driven wines (using the original

open fermenters and basket press) with a minimum of 18 months aging in small American oak casks.

The Block 6 Shiraz & Hillside Shiraz spend up to two and a half years maturing in a combination of

American, Eastern European and French oak barrels.
