The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from multiple regions in Padthaway, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley. Matured in American Oak hogsheads for 18 months.

Nose - Scents of black olive tapenade and tobacco pouch may assist in the varietal ID. At first, scents ascend of Copha/dusty chocolate and barrel-ferment pralines. Ditto, dry-aged beef and pan juices. Soaked dark cherry/fruit cake mix/rhubarb/Black Forest cake attest to variety. Peripheral freshly ground cinnamon notes add further complexity. And again, not to forget – we’re engaging Penfolds ‘Grange of Cabernet’… almost identical winemaking and 100% Quercus alba. Many confer – different variety, similar style.

Palate - A first impression reveals that this release is not overtly fruit-dependent, although blackberry and mulberry fruits are instantly detected. Perhaps more of a savoury/earthy disposition, augmented by pan juices/jus and black olive, and laced with exotic spices; turmeric, bay leaf and pimento. An expansive, woven palate conveys this vinous deliciousness, with a positive tension assisted by seamless Cabernet tannins, that are at once granular, sleek. Structure and flavours are both sophisticated and complex… masterfully conjured and showcased via this noble variety, Cabernet Sauvignon.
