2000NoonReserveCabernetSauvignon

Sans During my trip to South Australia I visited with owners Andrew and Rae Noon. They are part of the young, open-minded generation (Rea’s father also made wine) that is guided by one goal … to produce the most uncompromising product possible. In 2000, there are 750 cases of the Eclipse, 260 of the Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, and 350 of the Shiraz Reserve, all three staggeringly great efforts from a vintage that, on paper, should not have produced wines this prodigious. Interestingly, I had a chance to taste the Noon offerings opened in my presence against bottles opened twenty-four and seventy-two hours earlier. Remarkably, there was not much difference. Even from bottles that had been opened for three days, the wines were still exhibiting incredible amounts of fruit as well as concentration. This always indicates the potential for longevity.95 pointsRobert Parker – The Wine AdvocateExtremely Limited Stocks
