Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

This is a stunning rendition showing cassis, dark cherry, cedary oak, cigar and rich floral aromas on the nose. The impressively weighted palate delivers awesome persistency and fine flow, superbly structured by loads of fine-grained tannins. Sturdy yet silky with layers of delicious flavours.

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Offering gorgeous richness within a sturdy frame of classic cabernet structure, the wine shows cassis, dark plum, tobacco and cedar characters on the nose with a lovely violet overtone. It’s concentrated and dense on the palate, yet refined and gliding beautifully through to an impressively long, attractively dry finish.

“Sourced from Margaret River in this outstanding cabernet year. Bursting with blackcurrant and juicy satsuma plum. The Scholar Vineyard in Wilyabrup produces great fruit and this has been expertly harnessed into a classy wine. Balanced, combining power and elegance. It also has good cellaring potential.” Ray Jordan

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

Fruit off the Scholar vineyard at Wilyabrup and it comes stamped with quality. An elegant style taking the loveliest regional attributes (think mulberries, cassis and cocoa, leafy freshness)and layering them across a medium-bodied palate replete with fine tannins. Finishes long and satisfying.

James Halliday - Halliday Wine Companion

The best parcel of fruit ex the Scholar Vineyard, then a best barrel selection. An attractive, medium-bodied wine; juicy blackcurrant/cassis fruit, supple tannins, very good length and balance. From the great '18 vintage.

James Suckling

Blackcurrants, tar, asphalt, and blackcurrant aromas and flavors. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Juicy.

Opulent, perfumed nose of sumptuous blackcurrant, dried herb and dark chocolate, while the softly spiced palate is laced with fine tannins.

Angus Hughson - Vinous

Fragrant and fleshy, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label, a Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend, delivers excellent generosity of fruit in a beautifully balanced package that is already drinking well. Complex blackcurrant and violet aromas provide an impressive start before more savoury black olive and fine-grained oak emerge on the palate supported by fine, well integrated tannins. The balance is a standout and will see this wine drinking well for some years to come.
