The 2010 Parker Coonawarra Estate First Growth is a commanding, beautifully crafted expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Coonawarra’s most respected producers. First Growth represents the pinnacle of Parker’s winemaking — sourced from the estate’s oldest, lowest-yielding vines rooted in the region’s famed Terra Rossa soils. Only the finest parcels are selected, resulting in a wine of remarkable concentration, structure, and longevity.
The 2010 vintage is widely regarded as one of the standout years of the decade in Coonawarra. A steady, temperate season delivered perfectly ripened fruit with exceptional balance between richness and natural acidity. The wine opens with intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, dark plum, cedar, pencil shavings, and subtle mint. Hints of tobacco, graphite, cocoa, and dried herbs add depth and complexity as the wine evolves in the glass.
On the palate, the 2010 First Growth is full-bodied, powerful, and impeccably structured. Concentrated black fruit flows across a tightly woven frame of firm, fine-grained tannins. French oak is seamlessly integrated, contributing notes of spice, roasted coffee, and savoury cedar without overshadowing the purity of the fruit. The finish is long and authoritative, carrying classic Coonawarra Cabernet flavours of cassis, earth, and cool-climate freshness.
Now entering its prime drinking window, this vintage showcases the polished maturity and savoury nuance that First Growth develops with age. It remains a benchmark example of Coonawarra Cabernet — refined, robust, and built for extended cellaring.
