Winemakers Notes:
Single Vineyard wines epitomise the ultimate varietal expression of grapes grown on and selected from the most suitable rows of our family owned, mature and proven cool climate Western Australian vineyards. These wines are released only in years when we believe that this has been achieved.
Select rows of our Margaret River vineyard produce outstanding cabernet sauvignon fruit which makes a full bodied varietal style. This wine demonstrates aromas of mulberry, plum and chocolate with some secondary cassis and capsicum overtones. Following fermentation and extended maceration, the wine has been matured in new and old French oak barriques, producing an unmistakable Margaret River cabernet character.

Gold - Best Cabernet of Show - Perth Sheraton Wine Awards 2009
Raves:
A cool herbaceous character sits atop an essency bouquet of cassis and cedar; plenty of oak, but the palate delivers a layered, dark and complex personality of bright fruit, florals and very ripe fine-grained tannin; while built for the long haul, is quite approachable.
Rating: 95 James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion 2010
Classically structured, combining power and supple finesse. Lots of blackcurrant and black olive characters with ripe velvety tannins, fine grained oak and appealing texture. Top class.
