Stella Bella Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

95 Points – James Halliday

Batches vinified separately, some with cold soak, 15-18 days on skins, matured in French barriques (27% new) for 15 months. As ever, Stella Bella's cabernet is super-sized, exploring every corner of the mouth, whether invited or not. Cedar, smoke, cassis and redcurrant are embraced by a robe of ripe tannins. Drink by: 2039. Score - 95. (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, Aug. 1, 2019)
