Ray Jordan
A really impressive cool climate cabernet from what was an early but intense vintage, especially for red varieties. The nose exudes all the blackcurrant varietal character you could want with deeper dark plum and a little mulberry. A subtle leaf and a trace of black olive add further notes of complexity. Structured with fine tannins and infused oak. It’s still pretty tight but there is serious potential here.

Mike Bennie - Halliday Wine Companion
There's an elegance and refinement to this wine. Supple in texture, cassis and sweet spice-led with gentle herbal elements and a general sense of easy flow, plumpness and convivial drinking. Perfumed, mid-weight, pretty overall. It's a cabernet that feels pure in fruit, if a little rich and sweet, but guzzle-worthy and full of immediate charm.
