Critics Ratings

'Planted in 2000 and sourced from vineyards between 320 and 340 metres, this pure Cabernet Sauvignon sees 80% new oak and is built to mature further in bottle. The coolness of the vintage shows in the finesse and balance of the wine. Floral, green herb and cedar wood favours are supported by tannin and acidity. Drink: 2017-25' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 94/100

'Massively proportioned, inky and dense, yet 2013 shows delicate nuances and scented fragrance. 18 months in mostly new oak add subtle spice to perfectly modulated tannin texture and plush, ripe fruit.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*
