Deep red with garnet edge. Fragrant, violets, lavender, leafy, perfumed, pure. Notes of red currants and earth, dense, pronounced, brooding and slightly savoury mid-palate, gentle drying finish. 2008 saw timely December and January rainfall followed by warm dry days and cool nights. Harvest dates were earlier than usual with picking completed by mid March.
Clear red-purple; a fragrant cedary edge to the black fruits of the bouquet is followed by a supple, almost juicy, medium-bodied palate with superfine, but persistent, tannins and a touch of cigar box all adding complexity to an elegant wine. 95 Points; James Halliday, Wine Companion 2012, August 2011
A polished and supremely elegant cabernet. The nose shows more dominant red-berry characters with just a little minty, cedary influence. The palate is silky smooth, with fine tannins and fine-grained oak building a platform for a long finish. Well made in every aspect. Best Reds; West Australian, July 2011
