The Wine Front – It's the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (56%) and shiraz (44%) that could take on all-comers.Stand aside. There's a freight train of flavour here and while its brakes are hydraulic its momentum is enormous. For the love of grapes. A huge swerve and plum and blackcurrant flavour comes drenched in cedar wood, mocha and vanilla, though its top notes of tobacco and bay shine throughout like the top edge of wave. Will you take a look at the nut-like tannin on this job. This has more texture than a biscuit, more common than a keyboard. It's sheer old-new-school Aussie red wine brilliance. Rated: 97 Points Tasted: August 2021 Alcohol: 14.5% Drink: 2026 - 2044+' - Campbell Mattinson, Winefront
Huon Hooke – Very deep, dark, youthful purple/red colour with a rich, complex, profound bouquet that has a substantial oak input but not overdone—given the concentration of flavour. The palate flavour persists a very long time. It’s firm and youthful, needs more time, and promises much for the future. Dark berries galore: rich and ripe and very, very attractive.

FINISH
The 2020 vintage of the Peake expresses aromas of blueberry pie, Asian spices, vanilla and pain grillé; with the whole package following through on the palate with avours of dark chocolate covered espresso beans. Fine tannins and balanced acidity contribute
to a lingering finish.
WINEMAKING
The winemaking follows much of the same regime as for the Brooks Road Shiraz and Trueman Cabernet Sauvignon batches. The best blocks and barrel selections are chosen for this traditional Australian blend. The two varieties were hand-picked, destemmed and
fermented separately. Berries were cold soaked and pumped over daily with a minimum of 17 days on skins. The free run went directly to barrel and no pressings were included in the Shiraz. The Cabernet matured for 15 months in fine-grained Bordeaux barrels while
a mixture of puncheons and barriques were used for the Shiraz. The nest lots from each variety were selected and blended together shortly before bottling.
