Vintage 2016
95 points
A 76/24% blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot from the Adelaide Hills estate vineyard, matured in French hogsheads (20% new) for 18 months. The vines flourished in the warmer vintage as might be expected, providing a wine of excellent depth and structure, the flavours of blackcurrant/cassis intermingling with savoury herbal notes.
