About
Deep ruby red. Distinctly Cabernet Sauvignon with blackberry fruit, violet, seaweed / beach notes plus cedary French oak support. The blackcurrant, iodine, green olive and choc mint flavours are all fruit derived but they have been crafted into a wine of great power by full extraction of colour, flavours, and tannins from the grapes. The integration of all these flavours in French oak also adds to the structure and tannin, creating a long savoury aftertaste.

Jeni Port, James Halliday's Wine Companion
The 2018 Cabernet is all sweet fruit and juicy, like blackberry pie oozing with charm but there’s also another side to the wine; one that is fine-textured and aromatic with ripe tannins. Spice? Of course, this is Western Victorian fruit, after all. There’s clove and aniseed and that gentle riff of menthol on the finish is pure Pyrenees. Balance, that’s a good word and one Colin used a lot. Yes, the 2018 Cabernet has balance. 2020-2035
