2019 Flowstone Cabernet Sauvignon

94 POINTS

Ray Jordan

In line with this cooler late season, this cabernet is a stylish and elegantly structured wine that strongly reflects the vintage. More medium bodied with lifted floral and dried herb notes on the nose. Lovely mix of red fruits with bay leaf and light black olive notes merging with just a faint ironstone edge. Balanced and poised.

Archetypal Margaret River with its cassis, mulberries, a snip of herbs and smoky charm, some freshly rolled tobacco and cedary oak, too. More mid-weighted with shapely, fine tannins; it’s already showing signs of development, so drink up.

Medium deep crimson. Developed cassis, red cherry tobacco, mocha aromas and flavours with red liquorice notes. A fine grained and vigorous palate with ample red berry fruits, some leafy notes and underlying mocha vanilla notes. Finishes firm with seductive sweet fruits. A very good claret style with a touch of bottle age complexity. Drink now - 2028 93 points

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon leads with nori and pickling spice, forest floor and pipe resin, tobacco and blackberry. In the mouth, the wine is all damp leaves and five spice, nutmeg and cinnamon. The oak makes such a firm stamp on the wine, and while the tannins are soft, there are a lot of them. They pervade every aspect of the palate. A style. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Angus Hughson - Vinous

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon shows some signs of age, with chocolate and blackberry aromas lifted by layers of granite and earth. Plush licorice flavors follow with a seam of fine tannins and solid length, although it certainly feels at peak.
