Winery Review
Professional Reviews

Chester Osborn, the remarkable person behind this enormous array of both impeccably high quality and value-priced wines, deserves considerable accolades for what he is able to achieve at all price ranges. If you love Australian wines, d’Arenberg is a winery to seek out as these offerings all possess abundant soul as well as character. In short, the accolades that proprietor/winemaker Chester Osborn receives not only from The Wine Advocate, but virtually everybody in the wine world, are all well deserved.

Wine Spectator Dark, juicy and tangy, with green berry and olive grace notes to the basic currant and raspberry flavors, echoing beautifully on the long, lively finish. ..... read more

Wine Advocate One of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons produced in South Australia is d'Arenberg's Coppermine Road. The colossal 2001 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits an opaque purple color in addition to a gorgeous perfume of lead pencil shavings intermixed with blackberry and cassis fruit, vanilla, Asian spices, and white flowers. Still primary and young, with great intensity as well as tremendous upside potential. ..... read more

2016

Dark, juicy and tangy, with green berry and olive grace notes to the basic currant and raspberry flavors, echoing beautifully on the long, lively finish.

2016

Australian Wine Companion

2016

Quite fragrant, fully ripe cassis/blackcurrant aromas; full bodied, gutsy tannins.

- AWC, James Halliday Issue: Oct 2003

International Wine Cellar

2016

Full, lightly browning red. Earth, chocolate and cedar aromas beneath dusty, slightly leafy notes of small dark berries and dark olive. Ripe and juicy, with a dark, brooding palate of earthy plum and dark berries over a sinewy spine of firm, somewhat astringent tannins and cedary, chocolatey oak.

- IWC, Jeremy Oliver Issue: Jul/Aug 03
