Nocturne Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$58.00Cabernet off the Sheaok Vineyard, and it’s a beauty (although it comes in a way-too-heavy bottle about 1.5kg when full). No complaints about the flavour profile of blackberry essence and cassis, cedary oak spices and toasted nori, black olive tapenade and menthol. It’s fuller bodied with a ping of lively acidity, and the tannins are […]

Tobacco leaf, blackcurrants, rhubarb, squid ink, crushed herbs and geranium. Pure and transparent flavours and an incredible tannin profile; gliding and textural. Black olive, oyster shell, chalk, furry in the mouth, […]

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$65.00Out of Stock
Good depth and hue of colour, with a reserved but appealing bouquet that suggests cedar, dried herbs, poached berries and raspberry compote.

It’s drinking beautifully now. 95 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review Lovely black, lifted fruits and […]

Beautiful aromatics of cassis, blackberry, mulberry, cranberry, lavender tobacco and sandalwood. […]

Swinney Franklands Cabernet Syrah 2020
$90.00Are blends better than single varietals? This Cabernet Syrah would certainly stoke the fires of debate, and I would have loved the opportunity to taste the unblended varietals. Very refined, in the claret vein, balanced poised, powerful and graceful. Stunning flavours of violets, plum, blackcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cream. Terrific shape, across an even plane, […]

The wine is soft-textured and medium to full-bodied, elegant and pure, seamless and long. An utterly delicious cabernet blend. 95 Points – Huon […]

Joshua Cooper Dash Farm Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$55.00Three gorgeous cabernets this vintage from young Joshua Cooper and what a delight: all distinct with their own personalities expressing site. He says this sits at 450m above sea level on the southern granitic slopes of Mount Alexander (Leanganook) looking back towards the Macedon Ranges, and a late ripening site. Dark, inky and enticing with […]
