Red berry perfumes | fleshy tannins

A classic and unhindered expression of Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon, sculpted tannins and lifted red berry perfumes. A paragon of personality, purpose and approachability for those who enjoy soft tannins, succulent red fruits and simply love wine. Aromas of cassis, red cherries and bright red fruit underpinned by a seamless palate of raspberries, plum skin, bright red fruits and silky, textured tannin on the finish.

AWARDS

93 pts Winefront, Kasia Sobiesiak "There's a splash of Malbec and Merlot here. Beautiful, pristine flavour, mulberry and boysenberry, a note of sweet tobacco, maybe a hint of fig, effortless drinking, pure, fruity with dark chocolate tannins, all very fine. Lovely wine, well-priced too."

93 pts Wine Companion, Jane Faulkner "Jam packed with regional and varietal aromas and flavour, so this is instantly appealing. Full bodied, with ripe, velvety tannins, this offers terrific drinking at a good price. Ready now or will age with ease."

GROWING SEASON

The 2021 to 2022 growing season in Margaret River was one of the highlights in my 33 years of winemaking. Gentle and sustained sunny days provided fruit characterized by intense aromatics, coating natural acidity and ultra-fine tannin and tension.
