In my view this is better than a lot of much higher priced Californian cabs I have tasted. Nicely balanced, with fresh ripe red berry fruits, some smokey notes and vanilla cream. Palate has a lovely texture, very fresh, very fruity and very easy to drink. I don't think it will survive too many years of cellaring, but then I guess it is deliberately made for early drinking. Great with steak.

Medium full bodied wine. Cool climate definately shows. Hints of coconut, cream and red berries. Enjoyable with roast meat

Overwhelmed by coarse minerality - a rather bland experience.
