Matured 20 months in French oak, then 2 years bottle ageing to bring out the best in classical Langhorne Creek cabernet. The nose convinces that it is on the mark, cassis and blackberries, with a regional earthiness and the faintest of palate-edging cabernet bitterness in the tannins. Old-school, big cabernet love here.

The 2016 Walter’s Reserve Cabernet is a powerful yet elegant wine, showing gorgeous varietal notes of blackberry, bramble and earth, complemented by subtle influences of chocolate and savoury nuances.The wine is supported by a fine, defining, elegant tannin structure and shows spice and complexity from the careful use of new French oak. This wine is very secretive as it takes its time to reveal itself, a powerful wine that will not only evolve in the glass but will reward you with patience in the cellar.Will evolve and open up with cellaring 6-10+ years. Matches well with red meat, game dishes or even a delicious cheese plate.
