"This is gracefully rich and enticing on the nose showing blackberry, rich floral, olive and cedary oak characters, followed by an impressively concentrated palate delivering refined texture and chalky tannins. Multi-layered and gorgeously complex with superb structure and presence. At its best: 2024 to 2037" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2022

Aromas of blue berry, perfume and spice concentrate the nose, with elegant floral undertones providing lift. The palate is long and full of flavour, with a tight tannin profile and framework for the fruit to extend. Excellent tension and precise use of oak will see this wine age amongst the best in its class.

Alc: 14.5%

"An intense crimson hued wine that is very youthful with many heard ahead of it yet. It exhibits great depth, concentration and vibrancy of varietal fruit richness" Cabernet Sauvignon & Bordeaux Blend Challenge, Winestate Magazine, Jun 2021

"Well. This is a beauty. So much fruit, tannin and oak but in such overall balance. Blackcurrant and toast, peppermint cream and dried herbs, chocolate. Swoosh. It’s big, it’s creamy and it’s tannic but it has energy. Bowled me over a bit, this one. Belter of a Clare Valley cabernet" Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, Jun 2021

"Fruit from the Enterprise vineyard in Spring Farm at 475m elevation. Whole-berry ferment, matured for 15 months in French oak hogshead (20% new). Cassis, salted licorice, cigar box, dark chocolate and blood plums. The nose and the palate are perfectly aligned in this classical, savoury and structural cabernet" Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion, Jan 2022
