From Block 3, crushed/destemmed to open fermenters, hand-plunged for 7 days, matured in French barriques (40% new) for 14 months, final blend assembled, then 2 more months in used French oak. Has that X-factor of Stevens Road, with a fragrance, purity and clarity of varietal fruit that needs no elaboration in the winery beyond that which it receives.

This is benchmark Margaret River cabernet sauvignon of textbook character and refined grace, delivering enticing complexity and elegant allure. Its fragrant perfume of violets, rose petals, redcurrants and cedar lingers long through an exceptionally refined finish, underlined by bright acidity and well-poised, graphite-fine tannins.
