This is the only version of this article / View version history
Grown in our northern Coonawarra vineyard and sourced from two blocks, 3 and 4a, within this single vineyard. The larger berries of this block mean more juice and less tannin extraction, making it a fruit driven approachable style.
The aroma has a lifted perfume and is full of dark cherry fruit with a touch of vanilla. The palate is bold and full, but has softness, spice and elegant tannins. An approachable Cabernet that will drink well now or cellar for up to 5 years.

Tasting Note
The aroma has a lifted perfume and is full of plum with a touch dark cherry fruit. The palate is bold and full, but has softness, spice and elegant tannins. An approachable Cabernet that will drink well now or cellar for up to 5 years.

VINTAGE NOTE:
The season had a fantastic start, with generous Winter rainfall regenerating the aquifer and ensuring adequate subsoil moisture coming into Spring. We saw great canopy growth but a cool November delayed flowering and brought the bunch weights down to just below average. The majority of the state suffered from dry conditions, however our cool climate and on average rainfall kept the vines healthy and made for a long growing season, perfect for Cabernet.
