Description

  • Sweet cherry
  • Dried thyme
  • Roasted nut
  • Juicy & ripe

"Varietally expressive and beautifully fragrant with blackcurrant, sweet cherry, green olive and roasted nut aromas, it's succulent and finely textured in the mouth displaying ripe fruit intensity backed by polished tannins. Beautifully balanced and elegant with a persistent finish. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2022

"Aromatically it’s already quite developed with blackberry, amarena cherry, dried thyme and laurier aromas. The self-confidently dry finish should soften nicely with some more bottle age. Drinkable now, but best from 2024" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com, Nov 2022

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of juicy blackcurrants, dark chocolate and mint, accented by savoury notes of tobacco leaf. The palate is elegantly structured with classic flavours of chocolate and bay leaf, flowing through to ripe blackberries and fresh thyme to finish.

Fruit is grown on our Yertabulti and Provis vineyards, situated at the northern end of the Clare Valley, this is the perfect climate for maturing our premium red grapes.

A long dry growing season lead to an early start to vintage. Above average temperatures lead to optimum flavour and tannin development in all red varieties. Quality is excellent.
