About This Wine
No Points Review Yet:
2020 vintage won the Shiraz Cabernet of the Year Award at the Halliday Wine Awards and was rated 97 Points.
2020 vintage - "Sourced from the contoured quilt of estate vines, a confluence of silts, loams and ferrous outcrops. A traditional blend of the finest performing blocks and best barrels (50% new). A nose tingling with a visceral energy, such is the mineral-clad spine to this wine. Rich and powerful, to be sure, as the sweetness of shiraz and its blue-fruit aspersions meander across cabernet's bones of finely tuned tannins, dried herb and cedar-oak cladding. Yet the overall effect is one of umami warmth, savoury depth and immense potential. This is an iconic wine and deservedly so. (Ned Goodwin MW)"
2021 tasting notes - Blackberry, roasted espresso, vanilla, and hazelnut with great mid-body length and energy. An exceptional follow-up release to the 2020 vintage.
