Critics Ratings
'The tannin structure is a marvel of succulent moreishness.' Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 4.5*
'The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a selection of the best hand-picked grapes and sees 70% in new French oak. It has a McClaren Vale inspired bouquet of copious black fruits laced with crème de cassis and menthol. The palate is full-bodied with succulent ripe blackberries, cassis and orange-peel. It is well defined with fine tannins and very good weight on the finish. This is certainly a level up from the regular Cabernet. Drink 2013-2020' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Dec 2012)
