More Information

There's a fair argument to position this wine as the leading traditional-styled Australian Cabernet at or around $20. Dry, sinewy, serious. Some spicy wood and long smooth tannin. Surprisingly old-fashioned in build. I'd expect this to go close to 10yrs.

"The concept of "value" in wine can be a nebulous thing. There can be more of it in a bottle of real beauty costing hundreds than a magnum of woeful dishwater under 20 bucks. But here it’s quantifiable and undeniable. A classic blend of Bordeaux varieties from a region in which they excel. Tick. Born from some of Coonawarra’s best managed vineyards. Tick. Made with deftness and sensitivity by winemakers who understand intimately what makes Coonawarra special. Tick. Yours for less than the price of two schooners. Huge tick. $20. 14% alc"- 94 Points, Nick Ryan, Top 100 Wines Of 2025, The Weekend Australian, November 2025.
