Every parcel is treated with reverence: whole berry ferments for fragrance, open-top fermenters for texture, a mix of new and seasoned oak, and one third of the Cabernet gets the royal treatment with eight weeks on skins in a 3,500L oak cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a glorious wine. A wine of depth and quiet power. Dark fruit, fine tannins, just enough grip, and a savoury undercurrent that builds with every sip. It’s polished, but not flashy - in every sense a benchmark of the famous Yarra Valley Cabernet wine style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a wine destined for great things. Winemaker Sarah Crowe knocked this out of the park. It should be an essential part of any serious Australian cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99 points and 2026 Cabernet \u0026amp; Blends of the Year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Classic cool-climate cabernet aromas of black cherry, blackcurrants, cedar, licorice and subtle iodine.
