The 2022 Mountadam High Eden Milton Cabernet Sauvignon is a flagship Eden Valley Cabernet crafted from one of the estate’s best high-altitude vineyard parcels at 550 metres above sea level. Formerly known as “The Red,” this premium release showcases exceptional purity, structure and ageing potential in a classic cool-climate Australian style. The nose is deep and expressive, revealing blackberry, blackcurrant and black cherry layered with violets, briar, cedar, bay leaf, licorice and subtle vanilla spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, with concentrated dark fruit, fine granite-like tannins and vibrant acidity creating impressive tension and balance. Hints of sage, spice and savoury oak complexity flow into a long, polished and age-worthy finish. The style is elegant and powerful, combining richness with freshness and precision.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of Mountadam’s standout Cabernet releases and an excellent choice for customers who enjoy premium cool-climate Cabernet with depth, structure and serious cellaring potential. Perfect with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, slow-cooked beef or aged hard cheeses. Drink now with decanting or cellar over the next 10–15 years for greater complexity and refinement.
