Their exacting viticulture ensures the production of grapes of excellent quality & they have created a stable of fine wines distinguished by their consistency over each vintage & their ability to age superbly.
A bright.
fragrant and aloof style of Cabernet sauvignon that has plenty of lively and vibrant fruit in the mix, behind cedary oak and a gentle layer of leaves and brick dust.
The fruit is in the Wilyabrup spectrum of red berries and cassis.
The palate has smooth, fabric-like tannins on offer with an evenly formed, graceful and slow-building ascent through to the finish.
Very nicely framed up, well balanced and a gently fleshly release through the finish.
Drink in 2019.
