Deep, dark red colour with a tinge of purple. The bouquet is deep and rich and complex, with definite oak influence adding chocolate notes to the dark fruit aromas, now showing some bottle-age development. There's also a hint of mint. Rich, full-bodied and dense, with ample tannins and good extract. A wine of substance and length. Excellent cabernet indeed.18 AUG 2015

A 50/50% blend of the two regions, eloquently demonstrating just how compatible the union can be; Margaret River provides the fleshy mid-palate, Mount Barker the finely boned structure and notes of cassis, the finish a duet between two tenors, oak and tannins provide the beat.
