The winery is a 25 year-old star of Margaret River and the stars aligned in 2021 for this bordeaux blend featuring Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot
This was one of the cheapest wines to make this year's Halliday's Top 100 Wines, here's the review:
“A hand-picked 59/28% blend (with small amounts of cabernet franc and petit verdot) of destemmed, whole berries, 10 to 14 days on skins; matured for nine months in used French barriques. It’s succulent and juicy, awash with cassis, soft tannins quietly holding the wine’s shape.” 94 Points & Top 100 Wines of 2023 James Halliday
