Awards, Ratings & Reviews

96/100 — The Real Review · 2022 Vintage
“From a vintage that combined fruit intensity and stylishness. A classically elegant and exquisitely presented cabernet from a vintage that combined fruit intensity and stylishness. The aroma has a distinctive lift of blackcurrant and slightly savoury olive tapenade with a deep dark chocolate character. Hint of bay leaf and oyster shell minerality. It’s finely balanced with fine-grained oak and firm fine tannins.”

95/100 — James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion 2026 · 2022 Vintage, Tasted: 07 Apr 2025
“On the one hand this seems approachable and complete, so it's drinking superbly; but, on the other hand, there's structure and detail with a framework of fine tannins and acidity, ensuring this will garner more complexity in time. Go ahead and enjoy its violets, mulberries and blackberries, raspberry leaf, dousing of licorice, oak spices and black olives with some dark mint-chocolate, too, with plenty of savouriness throughout. There's a certain elegance and vitality to this, giving it an edge.”

About This Wine

This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from Wilyabrup in the mid-northern Margaret River, grown on ancient, well-drained gravel loam soils. Individual vineyard parcels were fermented using indigenous yeasts, with extended maceration to define site character before blending.

Malbec remains a traditional component alongside Cabernet Sauvignon, contributing to the final blend. The wine was matured in French oak barriques prior to bottling.
