2017 Reserve Basket Pressed Cabernet Sauvignon

Limited Release – Total Production 46 dozen.

Colour: Deep crimson

Nose:Brooding aromas of cassis black cherries and dark chocolate evolving with time in the glass.

Palate:Refined and delicate on the palate showing all the hallmarks of great Cabernet. Dark plums, rhubarb and red currents with savory notes of olives. Cedar and a touch of vanillin peak out from fine grained new French oak adding a sweetness to the palate. Silky smooth tannins and a bright acidity tell true to the pedigree of this wine and its aging potential.

Awards and Reviews:

“18 months in new French oak. 600 bottles made. 2017 was a cool and wet year in Margaret River, and for those who managed their vineyards with care and courage, it was a triumphant year. This wine is elegant and layered, with a supple, medium-bodied claret character. Red berries, salivating, briny acidity and very fine tannins are the making of this wine.”
