   The Real Review – Huon Hooke: “Very deep, dark, youthful purple-red colour. The bouquet is classic regional Margaret River cabernet – violets, blueberry, cassis and a little cedar pencil-wood. The palate is very tannic and firm, the tannins quite aggressive and forceful. Cellaring should reap a rich reward.” (2016 vintage)

   James.suckling.com – Nick Stock: “Some quite leafy, redcurrant aromas here with a smooth, gently chalky palate texture and plenty of bright, tangy, fresh red-berry flavour.” (2016 vintage)

   Robert Parker Wine Advocate – Joe Czerwinski: “Matured in new French oak, the 2016 Single Vineyard Cabernet carries it reasonably well, up until a dry, woody finish. Up front, it offers seductive vanilla scents layered over dark raspberry and cassis fruit, while the medium to full-bodied palate is rich and velvety. I’d opt for drinking it on the young side, before the fruit fades, but there’s a chance the wood could become better integrated with time, and my rating would then seem stingy.” (2016 vintage)

   Winestate magazine – ‘Best of the West Wine Show 2020’- “An excellent style!” enthused one judge. “Very varietal and still youthful.” There is plenty of cassis fruit and dark chocolate characters and fine tannins.” (2016 vintage)

   Halliday Wine Companion: Hand-picked fruit from 25yo vines, open-fermented and on dryness run into new barrels, 12 months in oak. Some toasty oak influence with this release, although the varietal and regional personalities are mainly calling the tune with redcurrant, mulberry, cedar and bay leaf playing a part. Rich and quite soft for the style but underpinned by firm tannin. (2016 vintage)

   The Real Review – Aaron Brasher: “This has a fabulous array of brambly, dark fruits and spice, there’s plenty going on here on the nose, it’s also displaying a ripe leafiness that gives the wine lift. The flavours are mid-weighted with blackcurrant and dark cherry flavours, as well as that brambly leafiness underlying the wine. The tannins are firm and focussed, built for the long-haul.” (2017 vintage)

   Halliday Wine Companion – Erin Larkin: “Lifted and bright, with a purity on the mid palate that makes it incredibly quenching and delicious. Cassis, redcurrant and aniseed form the base, while spicy tannins and plump texture are the decorations. The acidity is filigreed into the fruit. A lovely wine.” (2017 Vintage)

   Halliday Wine Companion – Erin Larkin: “Another cracking 2018 cabernet from Margaret River. Elegant cabernet, full to bursting with raspberry, pink peppercorn and pomegranate. The layers of flavour and spice have space between them – the concentration of flavour does not extend to weight, meaning this is light on its feet, yet with impressive power and length, too.” (2018 Vintage)

   Wine Enthusiast Importer Connection – “Exuberant on the nose in fleshy black plum fruit and extravagant spice drawer aromas, this is a firm, structured and boldly flavored wine. Deeply intense in vividly ripe fruit flavors, touches of prune and crushed flint notes, this is a wine that would benefit from the counterbalance of food. Nonetheless, the tannins are creamy and the acidity is nicely balanced. This would pair nicely with an eggplant or lamb ragu.”
