TASTING NOTES

Crafted from the same treasured old vines in Nagambie Lakes, the 2020 vintage continues to showcase the bold structure and generous flavour these Cabernet Sauvignon vines are known for. This year, dark cherry takes the lead, with blackberry and blackcurrant playing strong supporting roles—especially on the mid-palate, where a hint of plum and subtle spice adds depth and intrigue. Deep in colour, the wine offers lifted aromas of dark fruit alongside notes of cedar and dried herbs, hinting at the complexity within. The palate is rich and full, yet refined, with beautifully integrated tannins and balanced acidity providing structure without overshadowing the fruit purity. Finishing long and persistent, this Cabernet Sauvignon delivers a powerful yet elegant expression of the Nagambie Lakes region.
