A dense and elegant Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon showcasing traditional regional characters of fine tannin and blackberry leaf, but also a darker, brooding quality unique to the vineyard from which the grapes were sourced The balance and poise of this wine, along with the ample cassis and dark berry fruit flavour, will see this age well for decades to come.

Primarily, classic Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of blackberry leaf, give way to hints of darker berry fruits Subsequent notes of French oak, savoury leather and spice enhance the interest in this wine.

A focussed wine displaying youthful primary fruit flavours of cassis and blackberry on the mid palate The tight tannin structure and balanced acidity drive a palate of excellent length and clarity. Influences of French oak in the form of toasted cedar notes are apparent but restrained.

Pairs well with roast rack of Australian lamb with rosemary salt.

95 Points - Campbell Mattinson - Halliday Wine Companion 2018 - "It always comes laden with oak and this release is no different, though it's been artfully applied here; of bigger importance is this wine is flooded with quality fruit flavour. This is a Jacaranda Ridge cabernet to really sink into. It's plush with blackcurrant, brightened by mint, slipped with cedar wood and drilled with ripe, integrated tannin."
