2018 CABERNET
GOLD MEDAL – Yarra Valley Wine Show
Halliday Wine Companion – Jeni Port 94/100
Hand-picked, destemmed, cold soak, wild ferment, post-ferment maceration for 2 weeks, pressed, transferred to new, first and second fill barriques for 14 months, no fining or filtration. Planted in ’99, the Seville vineyard is hitting its straps and producing some super-elegant wines. Deep, purple-garnet. Dusty, toasty, black fruits to burn and spice. Kicks off on the palate with sweet fruit, fine-edged tannin and smart, tobacco leaf, cedar oak. So hard to resist right now. 18 June 2021
The Real Review – Stuart Knox 92/100
Deep ruby into a bright purple rim. Mulberry, cedar, and tapenade aromas. Medium-bodied with intense black fruits, a saline-mineral line and hints of leafy menthol complexities. Firm tannins bring drive and length to the flow. 24 OCT 2021
