Stands tall, statuesque even. Captures the essence of Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon so well in a vintage that has been heralded as exceptional. A meticulously crafted wine intense in aromas of crushed herbs, violet, liquorice, spice, black fruits and Aussie bush. The palate is built on a core of fine-edged, ripe tannins cloaked in purple-berry fruit flavours, leaves, roasting herbs, gentle cedary oak and enduring spice. The wine is a result of a blending of batches of fruit, each batch matured separately in French oak. Rolls out in impeccably elegant fashion. Superb wine. Will cellar magnificently.
