Description

2021 Kalleske Merchant Organic Cabernet SauvignonDer "Merchant" ist benannt nach der Tradition der Familie als Mller und Hndler von Lamm, Hckselgut und Trauben zu arbeiten. Kym John Kalleske, der alles in seinem Weinberg noch von Hand tut, fhrt diese Tradition fort. Er ernetet die Trauben aus einer Einzellage, die Ende des letzten Jahrhunderts angelegt wurde. In der Nase ein klassischer fruchtbetonter Cabernet, zeigt er Cassis ohne Ende, Blaubeeren, Schokolade, etwas Veilchen und minzigen Tabak.

Der "Merchant" ist benannt nach der Tradition der Familie als Müller und Händler von Lamm, Häckselgut und Trauben zu arbeiten. Kym John Kalleske, der alles in seinem Weinberg noch von Hand tut, führt diese Tradition fort. Er ernetet die Trauben aus einer Einzellage, die Ende des letzten Jahrhunderts angelegt wurde.

In der Nase ein klassischer fruchtbetonter Cabernet, zeigt er Cassis ohne Ende, Blaubeeren, Schokolade, etwas Veilchen und minzigen Tabak. Diese Aromen finden sich auch am Gaumen wieder, zusammen mit den kraftvollen, reifen Tanninen, die dem Wein ein exzellentes Rückgrat geben. Intensive reintönige Frucht vor französischen Barriquehintergrund ist das Hauptcharakteristikum dieses betörenden und schon jetzt harmonischen Traumweins.


Zum 2021er Jahrgang:

2021 war vorbildlich, sozusagen ein richtig "streberhaftes" Jahr mit wenig Niederschlag, relativ milden Temperaturen und kühlen Nächten. Insgesamt konnten die Trauben schön gleichmäßig ausreifen. Ein klassischer "Merchant" - ein echter Cabernet, der nicht versucht, ein Shiraz zu sein. Der Wein ist eine Wucht. Dunkel, dicht, präzise und dennoch fokussiert.

TASTING NOTES
2021 Merchant Cabernet Sauvignon is deep purple in colour. Classic varietal aromatics lift from the glass. Fragrances include violet perfume and blackcurrant along with a hint of nutty oak. It is super lifted and very engaging. This is a medium-full bodied Cabernet with utmost finesse and poise. It is richly flavoured with a balanced elegance ensuring the pristine fruits shine through. Natural tannins give structure and backbone leading to a pleasant and lengthy dry finish. Classy cedary oak adds supporting complexity to this true-to-type Cabernet with superb poise. Merchant is a classic Barossa Cabernet that can be equally enjoyed now or in a decade.
WINEMAKING
After pressing off skins the Cabernet was filled to a mix of one third new and the balance used French oak hogsheads, where the wine underwent natural malolactic fermentation. The Cabernet was matured in barrel for a year prior to bottling.
GROWING SEASON
Vintage 2021 was an exemplary year with fine wines and good yields. Growing season rainfall was marginally below average and temperatures were mild ensuring vine canopies remained healthy. Vintage weather was absolutely perfect throughout, with dry mild-warm days and cool nights ensuring even and steady ripening across all varieties. There is strong colour and flavour across all the reds along with excellent structure and balance whilst the whites are bright, fresh and elegant.
VINEYARD
Merchant Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from a single vineyard that was planted on the Kalleske property at the end of last century. The hand-pruned vines are low-yielding and are grown in shallow, sandy loam soil over superb deep red clay, providing ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon.

Dan Traucki, Wine Assist, May 2 2022:
“Bright purple colour, vibrant bouquet of plums & mulberries with a smidge of vanillin oak. Rich, round very tasty palate with a tight slightly grippy, lingering finish. A GREAT FOOD WINE!!”

Best Dog (Puppy) Toy I've Found
Color: Orange
This is a fun toy for me as well as my puppies! When it arrived I opened it right away. I was anxious to get my Pup's playing with something that wouldn't require me to play with them. I put it down and it was charged and ready to go. I had no idea what to expect. All three of my Pups were interested in it. (Which is unusual because two of them are Shih Tzu's and don't pay a lot of attention to most toys.) It's safe and really cute to watch. My youngest pup had been playing all day and was tired when I finally took a photo. I can't tell if the video uploaded correctly but if it did you can see how much fun it was. It is very durable and can actually turn itself over and go across the floor. It charges fast and will last a day and a half or two depending how much it's been used. It does go to sleep if no one is playing with it. They furnish you with an extra top and a fresh "rope." I really appreciate how much customer service is done with this item. I will watch for more of their items to purchase.

Buy 2 at a time for a fun experience
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
What’s better than 1 toy? Answer: 2 toys! I love using two at a time. More stimulation and fun! We use these to get all the energy out before nap time. They keep him occupied and running in two different directions. The rope part of the toy is the perfect size for him to grab onto. It came with a replacement for a wheel and rope and haven’t had to replace it yet. Toy has held up with daily play and still works perfectly.

How many dog toys have you bought that just laid on the floor unused?
Color: Orange
New husky has more energy than an entire pre-school - even being walked more than three miles a day wasn’t sufficient to drain her excess energy. I threw the dice on this - and it’s AWESOME. Comes with an extra rope and an extra side piece. Rechargeable with a USB-C cable. When you turn it on, the blue LEDs flash, the entire device buzzes, bounces, and races back and forth across the floor. After a couple of days of uncertainty, my new husky LOVES this. She chases it around, grabs it by the attached rope and carries it from room to room. After a short bit of activity, the toy goes into ‘sleep’ mode, until either the dog touches it again or a timer has elapsed, and then it fires up and starts buzzing and racing around the floor again. From a full charge, the toy will keep your dog entertained all day. Bright orange color makes it much easier to find when it’s rolled behind the toilet (as it did this afternoon). Sturdy. Highly resistant to chew damage. If this one wears out or breaks, I’ll absolutely get another one.

Puppy interactive toy
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
It’s a great toy as it keeps my 5 month old puppy very entertained! It is pretty hardy and made of good material as she tries to throw it around and chew it. She does swing it around and the hard part will hit her. She doesn’t seem bothered by it tho lol good size and minimum noise When I first introduced her to it she was a little scared but now she gets excited to play with it once it finishes charging.

Cool toy. Fun for all
Color: Blue
A cool toy. entertainment for the dogs but more so for the dog parents to watch the dogs reaction. Comes with an additional rope just in case, which I loved. Only side note I would say is that the fast mood could be a little faster. My Golden retriever figured out the speed in less than 24 hours and now picks up the toy to try to chew it up, instead of chasing. With him attempting to chew on the toy in the small time I give him, there are no teeth marks yet…this toy appears to be durable. We play in short increments but enjoy the toy.
