95pts James Suckling

Aromas of black fruit, plum skin, bay laurel and river stones. The palate is refined and pure, with fine-boned tannins and a lovely fruit-driven finish underpinned by earthy, savory nuances. A barrel selection from the family’s home estate that has never seen an agricultural chemical. Drink or hold.

93pts Jeb Dunnuck

Based on 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Merlot, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals classic Bordeaux-like black cherries, darker currants, minty herbs, and cedarwood, with some chocolaty nuances. It's medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with ripe tannins and integrated acidity. Drink this classic, impeccably made Cabernet over the coming 10-15 years. Drink 2025-2040.

Winemaker's Notes

Bold and structured with hints of ripe plum, black cherry, and blackberry greets the palate, complemented by hints of cedar, blood orange, and mint. As the wine unfolds, it reveals layers of toffee, chocolate, and tobacco, along with a touch of clove, creating a soft and expansive mid-palate. The wine exhibits beautiful balance, offering great richness and a supple, lingering finish. Ready to drink now but can age nicely.
