Description

From a vineyard closing in on 50 years of age, this Yarra Cabernet is concentrated yet lithe, with so much going on within its medium-bodied frame.

Text-book Cabernet profile - blue-fruits, florals, olive brine, and the driving black currant, cassis character that defines this grape. Quite juicy on the palate, with those brambly fruits driving the wine along, with some more savoury licorice and herbal notes as well.

Great acid, and gravelly tannin frame the wine so nicely. If there was a dictionary of wine, and you were looking for classy Yarra Cabernet, its likely you’d see a picture of this.

95 Points - "From the estate vineyard in Briarty Road, crushed and destemmed to large wooden vats, 4 days cold soak, pressed to French oak (30% new). Intense varietal fruit of cassis/blackcurrant. The vinification was precisely framed to maximise the fruit but not extract too much, especially tannins." James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

The 2018 harvest will be remembered fondly by winemakers in the Yarra Valley. It was a rare season that gave above average yields and excellent quality fruit. Dry sunny conditions with cool overnight temperatures provided good natural acidity and concentrated wines at lower alcohol levels.
