Moorilla Estate’s Domaine A Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 from Southern Tasmania’s Coal River Valley is a seriously impressive Bordeaux‑inspired cabernet that oozes dark-fruited power and cool‑climate finesse, built for both contemplation and the cellar.

In the glass, this 2014 Domaine A Cabernet Sauvignon rushes out with rich blackberry, blackcurrant and forest floor aromas, wrapped in integrated spice and savoury, earthy notes that speak clearly of Tasmania’s cool climate terroir. The palate is intense yet balanced, with a beautiful body, fine tannins and impressive length that makes each sip feel deliberate and refined.

As an Australian sommelier, I’d be lining this up with slow‑roasted lamb shoulder, char‑grilled rib‑eye, or a truffled mushroom pie to let the cabernet’s structure and savoury complexity shine. It is also a brilliant match for matured cheddar or cloth‑bound aged cheeses when you want a glass of top‑shelf Tasmanian cabernet to elevate the table.
