WINEMAKER'S NOTE
One of the top Cabernet's from Australia each year.
Deep red with magenta hues. Expressive varietal lift - predominantly blackcurrant with a hint of tomato leaf. Wild raspberry and blackberry nuances become evident as the wine sits in the glass. A subtle background of spicy, smoky oak.
Generous ripe berry fruits - like blackcurrant conserve - with a suggestion of praline. Pronounced, yet not aggressive, tannins. Finishes with a fruit sweetness and balanced oak/tannin firmness.

Generous ripe berry fruits - like blackcurrant conserve - with a suggestion of praline. Pronounced, yet not aggressive, tannins. Finishes with a fruit sweetness and balanced oak/tannin firmness. Serving and Cellaring Suggestions: This wine will gain complexity and evolve with careful cellaring. An ideal accompaniment to roast lamb.

International Wine CellarDeep red. Strong, varietally accurate scents of cigar box, plum, dried herbs, roasted coffee and bitter chocolate. Medium in weight, with fresh red and dark berry flavors complemented by assertive herb and underbrush tones, with a fairly strong overlay of vanillin oak. Firm, building tannins provide structure on the fairly earthy finish.
