2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

$95.00

Layered and expressive, the nose shows vibrant red cherry and fresh red fruits, underpinned by darker berries, blackcurrant and plum. Savoury notes of cedar, liquorice and tobacco add depth and quiet complexity. Super fine, chalky tannins bring structure and poise, framing an elegant, aromatic palate with remarkable length. Now beautifully settled in bottle, it is drinking superbly, yet will continue to evolve gracefully for decades to come.

Profile
Elegant and finely structured, with red cherry and blackcurrant layered with cedar, tobacco, graphite and subtle savoury notes. The palate is poised and precise, supported by super fine, chalky tannins and balanced acidity. A Cabernet of clarity and restraint, with length and quiet power.
Fermentation
Fruit was hand-selected and handled with a focus on precision, structure and purity. Gentle extraction preserved aromatic lift while building fine, chalky tannin. Maturation in French oak contributed subtle spice and integration. Time in bottle has brought the wine into balance, softening its edges while maintaining definition and line.
Vineyards
Sourced from the estate vineyard in Coldstream, planted on grey loams over clay with broken sandstone. These soils provide ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, producing fruit with structure, aromatic clarity and the ability to age with consistency and balance.
Vintage
The 2016 Yarra Valley season was defined by mild conditions and a long, even ripening period, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to develop with purity, balance and fine tannin structure. The resulting wines show precision and energy, with strong ageing potential and a refined, contemporary expression of the variety.
