95 Points, Ray Jordan Wine Review
"A wine with quite pretty aromatic nuances, showing delightful floral perfumes and more in that red currant, cherry zone. It's a bright and most elegant expression of Margaret River cabernet from a vintage which was actually very good. Fine-grained tannins, gentle oak infusion, and that seamless yet powerful fruit. Has lovely weight on the palate, and that highlights the long, effortless, focused finish. Drinking quite beautifully now, but it does have some cellaring potential."

94 Points, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion 2025
"The colour is excellent – a dark garnet with a purple tinge. The aromas and flavours are enticing – think mocha, blackberries, mulberries and a whisper of menthol. Fuller bodied with ripe, supple tannins, the oak adding to both the shape and tannins, yet integrated into the body of the wine. Just a tad warm on the finish but a solid offering. Nice one."

Colour Rich plum red with black tints.

Nose Aromas of blackcurrant, mint & bramble, with complexing notes of bay leaf, dark chocolate and cedary spice.

Palate Medium to full-bodied, this wine shows an abundance of bright fruit sweetness on the mid-palate, with classical cassis, raspberry and fresh mint notes to the fore. Savoury notes of fresh cooking herbs combine with hints of oak spice and bitter cocoa to add depth and complexity. A refreshing acid line provides poise and length, while an array of fine, earthen tannin provides structure and form.

Winemaker Comments

Fruit sourced from various blocks – so a combination of hand and machine picked fruit was destemmed to a combination of open and static fermenters. Generally, ferments were cold soaked, with a controlled ferment allowing for considered and gentle maceration on skins. Wines spent somewhere between 2-4 weeks on skins depending on the parcel and fermenter, with MLF complete before pressing off skins to tank for a quick settle before racking to oak. Wines then spent the next 18 months in oak with no racking or movement – just a monthly topping. Cabernet blends were assembled in December 2020 according to barrel selection, prior to a light egg fining, long-term settle in tank and filtration before bottling in June 2021.
