93 points. "From a superb vintage in the Langhorne Creek region, this is stunning stuff. Contender for value of the year. Dark purple in colour, we have chocolate, licorice, plums, cloves, dry herbs and spices, with an overlay of cassis all showing good focus and fine tannins, with a lingering finish. The palate sees more chocolate emerge. The wine is soft and generous with a supple texture so enjoyable to drink over the next five to eight years. This really is amazing value." Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot.
Region: Langhorne Creek
Vintage: 2022 has been one of the best vintages experienced in Langhorne Creek. Mid-winter rainfall was above-average and a few riverside vineyards also received a small flood giving the soil a good soak. The mild season and moderate crop allowed a long ripening period to produce wines with good intensity and acid.
Vineyard: A single-vineyard, single-block Cabernet Sauvignon from Block A2 on the Angas River Vineyard in Langhorne Creek.
Oak maturation: Eight months in two year old French oak.
Harvest Date: 23 March 2022
Nose: The nose displays notes of dark berries and plums with spicy notes of cloves and nutmeg.
Palate: The palate is medium-bodied with great flavours of plums, cherries and spice, finishing delightfully smooth and lingering.
Cellaring: Drink now to 2028
