A distinctively regional Yarra cabernet whose earthy, slightly meaty and herbal aromas of intense black and red berries, plums and forest floor-like influences neatly entwine with vanilla oak. Plump and generous, its palate of red berries, plums knits tightly with smooth, creamy oak and a firm, pliant spine of assertive tannins. It’s dark-fruited and fleshy, with typically herbal undertones. 94 points, drink 2016-2024) Jeremy Oliver
