Tasting Notes: Deep maroon with brick-red hues, offering cassis, dried herbs, woodland, coffee and subtle vanilla from oak. The palate is balanced and dry, with silky blackcurrant fruit, fresh acidity, a savory herbal edge and firm, slightly drying tannins. It is a mature, structured expression of Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon.
Food Pairing: Slow-braised beef cheeks; rosemary-roasted lamb shoulder; aged cheddar with walnut bread.
