In good seasons like 2020, Mount Barker can make exceptional cabernets and this is right on the money for variety and region. A complex aroma of dark chocolate, subtle mocha and plummy blackcurrant makes an initial statement. Everything then sits so harmoniously with fine chalky tannins working through the plush, smoothly textured palate with a subtle savoury lift from the oak. It’s refined, expressive and delivers through to a sublimely long palate.
