September 16, 2023 - Possibly a bad bottle. Couldn't drink it - poured down the drain. I hope it was just a bad bottle since I still have several more in the cellar...

May 1, 2022 - Wonderful Cabernet from down under. Lots of black fruits with a nice underlying acidity and integrated tannins. Day 1 PnP and tasted better as the evening progressed. Will decant the next bottle for an hour. Great QPR. I bought a case from Costco. Drink now or over the next couple of years. My new weekday wine.

September 10, 2021 - Excellent cab for the price. Tannins are just perfect, fruit and acidity balance out this enjoyable wine. Wish I bought more.

February 23, 2021 - Classy Cabernet.
Lovely nose of fresh dark fruit, florals and baking spice.
Balanced palate. Dense colour and rich but fairly smooth tannic structure.
Rich but not overripe, and a lovely fresh acidity. There are a few hints at old world stylings and some pleasing graphite notes.
A great example of ripe, pure, well made Cabernet. Not too leafy or extracted or jammy. Just right and bang on the money for the price.
This is in a great place now but will probably hang on and evolve nicely for the next few years.1 person found this helpful Comment
