The Victorian Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
About the wine
Sams pulled out all the stops...
- Sam's turned up the heat a few notches on the latest vintage of his super-premium Cab, and WOW! You can taste the difference in every delicious sip.
- Hand-picked grapes from the ultra-posh Strathbogie Ranges make it even more elegant and refined, but there's an added dollop of super-ripe fruit from Sam's family vineyard to give it extra oomph.
- Finished off with expensive oak barrel treatment and some award-winning Sam Plunkett TLC, it's sheer yummy luxury in a glass. Sam's best advice is to 'drink it with roast lamb tonight!'

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Sam Plunkett
- Legend is a word we sometimes overuse, but in Sam's case, it's true. Over in Oz he’s regarded as one of their greatest living winemakers. Getting on for a thousand medals and trophies to his name, including the daddy of them all – the Best Shiraz in Australia Trophy at the 2010 Great Australian Shiraz Challenge.
- Yet if you met him, you’d probably mistake him for the gardener. He’s one of the most down-to-earth, approachable blokes you’ll ever meet. He wears a beat-up old hat and drives a beat-up old pick up, and when he’s not in the vineyard, you’re likely to find him up a ladder with a wrench in his hand.
- From being in a pretty sticky situation back in 2011 when he was unexpectedly bought-out by his business partner, Sam has just achieved his lifetime dream; he’s converted an old textile factory into his very own gleaming high-tech winery and it’s all thanks to Angel funding!
