Delicious mouthful of fine elegant tannins, powerful blackcurrant aromas, cigar box with a hint of chocolate. It's well balance, complex with a long finish.
Great with rack of lamb, osso buco or a simple seared eye fillet of beef.
Here are some reviews for our 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon
Big, rich, dark and chocolaty on the nose. Big, bold palate - quite hot with
lashings of rich, spicy, chocolaty flavours edged with attractive spicy notes. Plenty of character.

Winestate Magazine - July 2007
Masses of powerful and concentrated blackcurrant aromas dominate the bouquet. The palate has ample structure and finesse with firm ripe tannins mingling with concentrated fruit and plenty of oak. It's well balanced and deliciously easy to drink''
85/100 Ray Jordan
An expressive cool climate nose gave off green leaf tobacco, white pepper and oregano. Some classroom notes of pencil shavings, lead and Ribena. A light floral note finished off the nose. There was a light oxidated component poking through the blackcurrant and brambles. Distinct menthol on the end palate, with chewy tannins.�
85/100 Winestar (Mark K)
Full red-purple in colour. Fairly fruit character although the fruit characters are indistinct on the wine. Sweet fruit from blackcurrant on the palate, oak evident with full flavour, fine tannin and a decent finish. Hints of earthiness showing.
86/100 Winestar ( Murray)
This wine is starting to display some secondary fruit characteristics. The nose has red-berry, blackcurrant and herb/spicy aromas of medium intensity.
Bronze, Scoop Magazine.
After five years this wine has developed a complex bouquet of mulberries, red currants, spice, tobacco and coffee. The long palate has fine tannins and lingering acidity but is a little hollow in the middle.
90 / 100 points (very good wine)
Best drinking around: 2006-2010
This bottle was sealed with a cork. I like it.
