One of Australia’s great cabernets. This from a cooler season highlights and accentuates the typical bright red fruits and blue fruit mix, especially on the nose. It’s aromatic and perfumed with an African violet scent. The palate as always is so exquisitely balanced and refined. Since 1989 the cabernet has been augmented with the floral bright fruit of cabernet franc and the darker robust black fruits of petit verdot. The palate delivers with a gentle restraint yet there is power deep within. The chalky tannins define a long and focused finish. A deceptive medium bodied wine that will cellar for many years. 98 points, Ray Jordon.

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 […]
Add to cart Producer: Joshua CooperFrom a vineyard planted in 1998 and only 170 dozen produced. This is a terrific follow up to the 2020, finer, sleeker and deeper. Classic Margaret River nose with blackcurrant, plum, blackberry, blueberry, cigar box and geraniums. High toned, with a refined intensity that is positively mouthwatering and succulent all at the same time. Terrific […]
Add to cartAre 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, […]
