"Sturdy and robust, yet with balance and harmony, the wine shows blackcurrant, raspberry, clove, almond and rich floral aromas on the nose. The palate is equally appealing with fruit richness backed by fleshy texture and chalky tannins, making it structured and persistent. At its best: now to 2034."
The Wine Pilot - Ray Jordan - 92 points
"This is such a good combination in Margaret River. There’s plenty happening here with a compelling aromatic combination red and blue fruits with a trace of spice. The palate is firmly held with fine tannins and subtle oak integration. Displays a fresh crunchy berry character that brings the palate to life."

"Cabernet Sauvignon dominant (87%) with Malbec (13%). A new addition to the portfolio showing the shoulders and sturdy reliable frame of cabernet with lift and high tones of malbec. The malbec sits atop the cabernet a bit like a toddler riding high on dad’s shoulders, the whole world at its feet. Here malbec shows in hibiscus florals, raspberry compote and wild rosehip and elevates the more brooding cabernet blackberry and subtle herbal shades. Picked thyme leaves and oregano followed by vanilla bean, cassia bark and cinnamon. It’s charms and disarms, it's cheeky in its zesty freshness with grainy tannins and a real succulence to the acidity. The wine spends 18 months in French barriques but you’d hardly know. Drink now and you’d be hard pressed to stop at a glass. Serve with popcorn chicken bites and a good movie, you’ll be too busy drinking to chit chat to anyone. Yum."
