2019 Cabernet Merlot
Aroma: Blackcurrant, plum and mulberry fruits lead into savoury notes of black olive tapenade and bay leaf.

94pts - "78/21/1% Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot / Shiraz. Matured for 18 months in French oak (15%new). If Fermoy isn't edging onto your radar, you need to perk up. the wines have refreshed packaging, which reiterates the value found inside the bottles. This is very smart. Succulent. Pure fruit is shaped by fie, chalky tannins that help the flavour sail over the palate and off into the distance. Really impressive for the price, it looks the part to drink. drink by 2031". Erin Larkin, 2023 Halliday Wine Companion.
2018 Cabernet Sauvignon
Aroma: Aromas of cassis, black olive tapenade, tobacco and bay-leaf with complexing notes of coffee bean, cigar box and cedary oak spice.
Palate: Medium to full-bodied, this wine shows an abundance of black fruit sweetness on the mid-palate, with classical cassis and black olive notes to the fore. Savoury notes of tobacco leaf and dried herbs combine with hints of raspberry, dark chocolate and graphite to add depth and complexity. A refreshing acid line provides poise and length, while an array of fine, earthen tannin provides structure and form.
Awards:
94pts - "Houghton clone, up to 3 weeks on skins, 18 months in barrel (30% new). Some cabernets are dark and brooding; others, like this one, are red-fruited, succulent and juicy. The tannins are chalky, tightly knit together and chewy, making this a star on the rise. Lovely wine. Drink by 2032" Erin Larkin, 2022 Halliday Wine Companion.
2018 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Aroma: Aromas of blackcurrant and raspberry fruits ease into lifted violets, cedar spice and all-spice with savoury notes of olive, sage, bay and tobacco leaf.
Palate: Finely structured and elegant, this medium weighted wine displays an innate power whilst retaining delicacy and poise. Fine spun tannins carry ripe, perfumed fruits across the palate, whilst very tight grained French oak provides structure, form and length to ensure a beautifully elegant finish.
Awards:
96pnts - 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards "Perfumed and lifted nose displaying scents of dark rose buds, violets, vanilla spice, cedar and masses of minty cassis and smoked plums. Sumptuous palate, creamy."
96pts - 2022 Halliday Wine Companion "Supple, briny cassis rises up to greet you on first sniff. In a word, pretty. Vibrant. Also joyful. The wine takes a very serios turn on the palate. This is finely structured, shaped by chalky tannins that carry ripe, medium weight fruit over the tongue and through to the finish. Caresses more than it asserts, making it a subtly spicey, elegant and willowy Cabernet, capable of years of grace in cellar. Brilliant fruit. Drink by 2046" Erin Larkin
