Gold Medal - 2005 Melbourne Wine Show.
This is a very good cabernet. Dusty oak overlays aromas of blackcurrant and mint. The palate is perfectly balanced between ripe, full-flavoured cabernet fruit and nice oak. Slightly assertive finish with persistent lingering flavours. Good wine for the short term. 4.5 Star Rating. Drink: Now to 2007. Food: Rack of lamb. The West Australian FRESH, 2004-07-15
Attractive purple red colours. Heavy raw chippie oak aromas with some stylish, minty, leafy cabernet fruit. Similar characters on the mid-weight palate. Everything nicely in balance. $19.99; 4 Star Rating; Winestate Magazine, Vol 27 Issue 4
Historic winery delivering affordability and availability with their offspring line. Herbal aromas with blackberry fruitiness make this cab a winner. Wine Review Online
Brilliant ruby red-violet hue. Black currant, tar, and mint aromas. Medium-full with good concentration, this has ripe, forward fruit, a nice note of black spice and an elegant finish with refined tannins and lively acidity. Nice food wine. Tastings.com
Has rich coffee or cappuccino notes on the nose, and reined-in-mixed-berry flavors that are juicy but blessedly not too sweet. Slim in the body, this is the kind of Cab that will show best at the dinner table, with hearty meats and spaghetti alike. Wine Enthusiast (USA) - Best of the Year, 2004-12-31
