About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonCoonawarra, AustraliaMedium crimson with a crimson hue. Displaying true Coonawarra aromatics of ozone, violet and a lovely fresh burst of blueberries and choc mint. The palate is restrained yet complex. Whilst the wine is youthful and structural, there is blueberry, violet and chocolate with lovely fruit flavour and very fine tannins, giving the drinker an insight to the ageability of this wine. With decanting in its youth it is enjoyable as an elegant fullbodied red wine.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Vintage 2019
95 points The Wine Front
Matured in Yalumba made barrels. “A strong year for cabernet in Coonawarra”, offers Louisa Rose, “a warm vintage but not crazy”. So mellow, a sense of distinct control and refinement, tension and precision a force to be reckoned with here. Regal. Dark cherry, blackcurrant, black olive, bay leaf, salt bush, feels refreshing in its way and so very much in the medium weight zone. Quite minerally, touches of pleasing malty woody spices too. Finishes long and distinctly with crushed rock minerality. True charm. 95 points, 2024-2040+ - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, 4 June 2024
