2000 Coppermine Road

One of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons produced in South Australia is d’Arenberg’s Coppermine Road. Boasting a deep purple color as well as structured flavors of cassis, earth, saddle leather, spice box, and tobacco leaf, the ripe, medium to full-bodied, fleshy 2000 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a slightly tannic finish. Give it 1-3 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 12-15. Chester Osborn, the remarkable person behind this enormous array of both impeccably high quality and value-priced wines, deserves considerable accolades for what he is able to achieve at all price ranges. If you love Australian wines, d’Arenberg is a winery to seek out as these offerings all possess abundant soul as well as character. In short, the accolades that proprietor/winemaker Chester Osborn receives not only from The Wine Advocate, but virtually everybody in the wine world, are all well deserved.
