94 James Halliday This has been extracted with precision and early to mid-term drinking in mind, without sacrificing flavour or the integrity of cabernet’s inherent graphite tannic strictures. There is a dollop of merlot (11%) and franc (4%) for fill and lift respectively. 18 months in quality oak. Delicious. Currant and berry fruit. Hedgerow tannins, gently guiding. This is gorgeous Yarra cabernet The wont: sensitive extraction.91 pts Wine Enthusiast July 2022 This is a fruity but solid example of a style Yarra Valley should be more celebrated for. Plump currant and cherry fruit and dusty, peppery spice take the lead backed by eucalyptus, olive brine and some vanillin oak. Savory, tar-like tannins add to that dusty sensation on the palate, tempering the luscious berry fruit. Achieves that classic Cab balance of power and finesse.
