Tasting Notes
Trophy for Best Blended Red Wine Gold - Langhorne Creek Wine Show 2024
Top Gold - Perth Royal Wine Awards 2023
A seamless entity, each grape plays its part beautifully. A lively cacophony of toasted spices and violets introduces the wine on the bouquet with an arresting spark of mint. They join with dark berries, dark chocolate and cigar box scents. There is complexity here, ie. there’s a lot happening, but it’s controlled and focused. The palate with beautifully ripened fruit and spice-herb-earth-cacao accompaniments, all handsomely dressed in well-judged French oak. Fine, supple tannins gently grip the palate.

James Halliday Wine Companion 2024 Winery Of The YearScores
96 / 100"Cabernet sauvignon (72%), malbec (18%), petit verdot (6%) and merlot (4%), aged for 12 months in French oak, 25% new. Salt and pepper, blueberry and blackcurrant, cloves and minerally/ferrous characters. This is a seriously good wine. It's characterful, balanced, lengthy and interesting, its dark-berried fruit flavours sunk deep into the palate, its freshness maintained, and its finish as convincing as everything that came before."
