Reviews

Revealing plums, spice, red fruits, and a touch of cedar with red pepper notes on the nose. The palate dances with classic cabernet characteristics of chocolate, cedar, red fruits, and spice. Soft tannins and clean acidity guide the experience, resulting in a well-balanced and delightful wine.

An elegant and effortlessly long cabernet sourced from the Clare Valley. It gets so much of this region with the dark fruit and dark chocolate mix on the nose and the generous and lavish integrated palate. Has a fragrant lavender and sage character. Minerally and slightly chalk tannins integrated perfectly. A most complete wine.

A lovely expression of the variety, showing blackcurrant, rich floral, clove and roasted nut aromas on the nose, followed by a beautifully weighted palate offering ripe fruit intensity with fine, chalky tannins, finishing long and robust. Wonderfully structured and harmonious. At its best: now to 2032. Sept 2023.

Impressive cabernet blended from the Barossa and Clare Valleys. Generous, rich and lavishly opulent, while retaining that first structural core that is cabernet. Brimming with dark fruits, a little bay leaf and black olive and a rich chocolaty character. Perfumed aromas entice from the start. Fine integrated tannins complete the palate finish.

Richly ripe and sweetly expressed with dark plum, violet, mixed spice, thyme and vanillin oak characters, it's plump and flavoursome in the mouth, delivering juicy fruit intensity with silky texture and finely infused tannins. It's supple and generous with plenty of delectable flavours. At its best: now to 2036. Sept 2023.

The influence of the cooler climate Limestone Coast is quite profound adding a delightfully fragrant perfumed lift on the nose and introducing a degree of restrained effortless elegance on the palate. Displays more red fruit character. Vibrant and bright with tremendous energy. Like this.

This is immediately appealing on the nose, showing blackcurrant, dried herb, game and toasted nut aromas, leading to a fruit-expressive palate that's weighty and flavoursome. It's sweetly ripe with savoury nuances, combined with fine-grained tannins, finishing persistent and engaging. At its best: now to 2036. Sept 2023.
