The 2002 Patrick ‘Grande Reserve’ Cabernet Sauvignon is a rare, fully mature expression of classic Coonawarra Cabernet, released only in exceptional vintages and built for long-term ageing. Produced by Patrick of Coonawarra, the Grande Reserve represents the pinnacle of the estate’s Cabernet program, drawing on the finest parcels from low-yielding vines grown on Coonawarra’s famed terra rossa soils over limestone.
The 2002 vintage delivered ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, producing fruit of concentration, balance, and firm structural integrity. Extended bottle ageing has allowed the wine to evolve gracefully, transforming youthful power into layered complexity while retaining freshness and regional definition.
Now at full maturity, the wine shows a deeply complex bouquet of blackcurrant, dried plum, and cassis, seamlessly integrated with classic tertiary characters of cedar, tobacco leaf, leather, earth, and subtle mint. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and composed, with resolved yet still supportive tannins, savoury depth, and a long, elegant finish that reflects both provenance and patience.
This is a Cabernet Sauvignon that speaks quietly but confidently of traditional Australian winemaking, where structure and longevity take precedence over immediate appeal. Best enjoyed now with careful decanting to remove sediment, though well-stored bottles may continue to hold for several more years.
A distinguished and increasingly scarce Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon for collectors who value maturity, balance, and classic regional character.
