This wine is sourced from the Kids Cabernet block, which is right behind the winery and planted quite recently back in 2017. It’s a limited release wine and shows that Cabernet can work really well when treated appropriately in the Barossa. The color is bright and brilliant, and the aroma shows a mix of black and red fruits with a spicy, slightly cedary character and some nice floral notes. Just a trace of complexing boot polish adds to the combination. Palate is quite succulent with a juicy mouth feel, albeit with typical Cabernet structural integrity that aligns and focuses it through to a good finish. Promising wine from these younger vines.
