Latest Wine Review – 2013 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Stuart Robinson from The Vinsomniac has some lovely words for our 2013 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.

94 points.

“A blend of McLaren Vale (53%) and Coonawarra (47%) fruit. Released with the age on it, still retaining an element of youth, vigour and freshness. Plummy, damson, blackcurrant notes on the nose. The palate conveying an acidic freshness, tannin is firm and somewhat robust still now. Gives a firmness and provides length and depth of flavour. Somewhat older school in its presentation, an observation – nothing more. Matched this a medium reverse seared rib fillet on the bone, the tannin/protein match-up a perfect pairing to highlight the depth and even of a touch of char in the oak. In the zone now, yet still with plenty ahead of it. Bottle August 2017 after a whopping 36m in a mix of French and American oak.”

Thanks Stuart for the great review.
