McLaren Vale is generally reknowned for its shiraz, but Tatachilla, year in, year out make a really impressive cabernet.
The 1999 is a great follow-up and was rated ***** in Winestate:>/b> "Intense cedar/plum nose. A great palate offering plenty of depth of stewed plums, barrel ferment and dusty oak flavours. Fine-grained tannins and a warming alcoholic finish. Keep 5+ years."
Also rated ****(*) in the 2001-2002 Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide.>/b> "Another excellent red from this ultra-reliable maker. It’s a solidly built red which harbours sweet berry-jam and anise flavours. It’s smooth, savoury and dry on the palate with fairly grippy tannins that need time. A cellar special."
Colour
Deep red in colour with crimson hues.
Aroma
A lifted, no holes barred aroma of ripe, squishy blackberries and mulberries served with a liberal dose of coconut ice and pencil shavings, there is a hint of licorice and coffee that may become more apparent with age.
Palate
Soft and sumptuous in the mouth, this is a friendly wine that has excellent front and mid palate fruit sweetness tapering into forest fruits, graphite and generous oak. Plenty to keep both the serious imbiber and the casual palate pleased. A finish of good persistence with very soft, finely grained tannins.
Cellaring Potential
Drink Now or sellar for a further 3 - 7 years.

Tatachilla has been a part of McLaren Vale since vines were first planted over 100 years ago. Today the bright patchwork of olive groves, avocado orchards and rows of vines bordered by the South Australian coast impart a Mediterranean flavour to this evolving region.
Established in 1903, Tatachilla’s commitment to McLaren Vale has remained strong throughout the years. Its vineyards are scattered amongst the sloping hills and tapered basin of McLaren Vale, with fruit for Tatachilla’s wines sourced from key McLaren Vale subregions: Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale North & South and Clarendon.
Tatachilla’s own Clarendon Vineyard is the heart of Tatachilla, and the basis for our finest expressions of McLaren Vale wine.
Tatachilla’s wines evoke classic McLaren Vale characteristics blended with contemporary Mediterranean cues. The wines reflect the true character of the grapes, balancing a healthy respect for the vineyard with a light touch in the winery.
