Bellwether Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Here’s Bellwether Cabernet Sauvignon 2018—a delightfully earthy and confident Cab from Coonawarra’s famed terra rossa soils. Picture dense blackcurrant, cassis and blue plum fruit unfurling with a noticeable twist of minty eucalyptus and herbaceous bay leaf. There’s a savoury backbone of sage and rosemary, woven through mocha, dark chocolate and cedar—from that patient time spent in gentle oak. The wine feels medium-bodied yet purposeful, with fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity that bring freshness and length. It’s elegant yet cheeky, with a refined structure that drinks beautifully now but has enough guts to age gracefully. Sue Bell’s thoughtful minimal‑intervention style truly shines in every sip of this expressive and approachable Cab.
