2020 Langmeil Jackaman's Cabernet Sauvignon

95 Points Huon Hooke
In stock
A full-bodied classic of Barossa Cabernet. The Jackaman vineyard was passed to Langmeil by the original owner Arthur Jackaman, who had planted it in the 1960s when Cabernet was newly becoming a "serious" prospect for dry red wine in the Barossa. With old vines that deliver ripeness with finesse, the Jackaman's is a bound to satisfy now or after further years in cellar.

Its Origins

Once a trading village established in 1842, this remarkable place is a captivating pocket of Australia’s wine and vine history that is a must when visiting the Barossa. Owned by the Lindner family, whose own mark on the Barossa spans six-generations of farming, food, community and wine, Langmeil is renowned for its preservation of old vines and the making of distinguished wines from these cherished sites. At the pinnacle of its winemaking is The Freedom 1843 Shiraz, made from what is understood to be the world’s oldest surviving shiraz vineyard believed planted in 1843 at the heart of this historical patch of Barossa earth.

What The Critics Say

95/100 Huon Hooke

"Deep rich colour; a deep and attractive cabernet nose with varietal cues but also layers of complexity. Black fruits, nori, peat, mixed spices. A concentrated and very ripe cabernet, with lashings of supple grainy tannins and long carry. 17 JAN 2023." Drink 2023 - 2033

93/100 Halliday's Wine Companion, Dave Brookes

"The southern subregion of Lyndoch is the source for this Jackaman's cabernet sauvignon, which is matured in French oak (35% new) for 25 months. It comes across as a little more structured than the previous release with fine, granite dust tannins providing a substantial framework for ripe blackberry, blueberry and black cherry fruit notes. Hints of five-spice, pastis, biscuity oak, olive tapenade, roast goose and pressed blossom add to the intrigue. Plenty of depth and ripe black fruits with a nice savoury swish to its tail and a sustained finish." Drink 2023 - 2035
