Deep, rich red. The nose boasts of sweet blackcurrant, mulberry, chocolate, mocha and cedary oak. Medium to full bodied, the palate is fruit forward with rich blackcurrant and cassis. Overlayed with sweet raspberries and violet undertones. The mid palate is round and supple, the tannins are fine and ripe. Deliciously ripe and fabulously structured, this is a classically ripe Yarra Valley cabernet sauvignon. Cellar Optimum drinking now to 2018

''Medium-bodied, showing some early development for a complex but seamlessly fused marriage of blackcurrant fruit and cedary French oak. ” -  92points, James Halliday

“Glorious deep purple-red; a complex bouquet, with fruit and oak both evident; the grippy tannins on the palate come as a shock; puzzling why they were not fined more. Screwcap.” – 93 points, James Halliday, 2005

“Rich, multi-layered cassis, blackcurrant fruit, oak and tannins, all seamlessly woven into a full-bodied, classic Coonawarra Cabernet .”- 94 points, James Halliday

Strong varietal character, right from the first sniff through to the finish and aftertaste; a mix of redcurrant and snow pea, with a hint of olive; good structure and texture.

Dark red with a red tinge . A full nose of dark blueberries, cassis and some leafy Cabernet notes, dark and round. The palate is round and full, the Merlot influence rounding out the palate, solid with fine tannins.

'ML006-97 JH-91: Strong red-purple; a concentrated bouquet with savoury/earthy/berry aromas is followed by a strong, rich palate with ripe berry fruit, well-balanced and integrated oak, and excellent tannins on the finish
''99 RP-90: The opaque purple-colored 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot (aged in French oak for 18 months) offers up gorgeous aromas of black fruits, cedar, tobacco leaf, and vanilla. Dense, full-bodied, and broodingly backward as well as elegant, with sweet fruit and tannin, it should age effortlessly for 10-12 years.

"Berry and light fresh herb undertones. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a medium finish." - Wine Spectator
