The first among equals, the '18 Richardson Reserve Cabernet just pips its Reserve Shiraz sibling with its incredible level of concentration and total integration. It's a seamless, impressive performance. Ripe, yet well composed in blackberries, briar, a sweet dry leafy thread and spice, notably dressed in vanillin oak. Layers of fine cabernet tannins roam the palate, elegant in shape and bringing with them a long, smooth, fresh finish. The late Colin Richardson would have been proud.

Deep dark garnet leading to a lighter ruby hue. Initially dense and brooding, but with agitation or decanting the wine opens like a flower, displaying classic Cabernet Sauvignon herbaceousness, with underlying blackcurrant, blackberry and capsicum with the nuance of exceptional vanilla oak characters derived from high quality new French oak.
The palate displays graceful yet powerful classic Cabernet Sauvignon flavour. Typically herbaceous with an abundance of black fruits mint and cassis combined with elegant oak treatment that leads to a firm acid line and firm but soft tannins that lends itself to great ageing potential, however it is drinking beautifully now.
