In true Yarra Valley style, this is an elegant and medium weight Cabernet with aromas of briar berries and lifted herbal notes. The palate has bright berry fruits, hints of dried herbs and powdery tannins.
The fruit was hand harvested in mid-March. It was open fermented and was matured for 15 months in the oak barrels.
Mild conditions in spring allowed excellent fruit set and yields were good. Continuing cool and mild conditions allowed good flavour development in Cabernet balanced with fine acid. It was generally dry and disease pressure was low.
94 Point Rated - Halliday Wine Companion
40% estate-grown on the Highbow Hill Vineyard, the remainder from Dixons Creek and Coldstream; includes 10% merlot; fermented/macerated 2-3 weeks. It is cool-grown cabernet, with all the implications of that origin, but the tannins ? however fine ?
90 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Review
Deep red colour with a purple tinge. Oak is the first aroma, while the palate has good herbal, berry cabernet identity and a typically firm, tight palate structure. Fresh acidity and a trace of coconut on the finish. A fairly straight-up style of cabernet, intense and a mite tough, but promising to reward cellaring.
