Exuding a deep ruby hue, this Cabernet Sauvignon offers a mysteriously inviting nose with notes of geranium, gardenia florals, spice, and plums. On the palate, it showcases vibrant acidity and a lively energy, delivering layers of savory fruit alongside a persistent finish. Initial flavors of blackcurrant and charred meats lead into oak-derived vanilla and mocha notes, supported by a structured tannic grip. Subtle hints of leafiness and sweet spice emerge on subsequent sips, complemented by nuances of java plums and crushed gravel. This is a complete wine, showcasing excellent drive and complexity. Pair with aged Gouda cheese, grilled ribeye steak, or a hearty mushroom and truffle risotto for a memorable dining experience along with a side of creamy polenta.

Deep crimson. Intense cassis, dark mocha, mint bush garrigue aromas. Generously flavoured but sinewy wine with ample dark berry capsicum chinotto minty flavours, fine chewy/ leafy firm tannins, attractive mid-palate density and underlying savoury notes. Bittersweet at the finish. A vigorous, animated and sinewy cabernet with plenty of richness and flavour. Coonawarra, Padthaway, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley. Drink now – 2030 14.5% alc
