    Crawford River Cabernets 2019

    Henty and cabernet sauvignon, ey? A triumph of site and dogged persistence.

    This is beautiful stuff. So fragrant. A fog of sweet, green, leafy herbs, some woody spices like clove and cinnamon and a good deal of pepper too. In all that, a rich, dark fruited fragrance and some brined black olive in measure. Wonderful to sniff on. Could go on… Tastes good too! Succulent, fresh-feeling palate despite the depth of darker fruit spectrum flavours, some light but stewed rhubarb characters and a crunch of dry, cranberry drink in the mix. There’s a coolness through the wine even with all the layers of flavour; tannins are fine, lithe and gently tightening. In peak form. Delicious. MIKE BENNIE, The Wine Front

    75/25% cabernets sauvignon/franc. Destemmed, wild fermented, matured 12 months in French oak (10% new). The 1st rule of Cabernets is to decant. The 2nd is to put it into context as a super-cool-climate, linear example of the breed. In 2019, it is fine-edged and elegant with aromas of dark fruits, violets, leaf and heavy in exotic spices: anise, fennel seed and nutmeg. Oak is integrated, tannins are staunch and enduring, more than enough for the long life ahead. JENI PORT, James Halliday Wine Companion
