Description
// Winner of the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy!
"The 2014 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is famously dripping in gold medals, after winning the Jimmy Watson Memorial trophy and a swag of other trophies and golds across Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Western Australia wine shows. It's clear why it did so well. Lashings of dark chocolate, cocoa, cassis, dark forest berries, tobacco, tapenade, exotic spice and brine greet the bouquet, and the palate is imbued with wall-to-wall tannin and muscular fruit. This is full bodied, powerfully structured and thrusty, with persistent, consistent fruit for days." - 97 Points, Erin Larkin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"'It smells like violets and hope and it tastes like truth and raw emotion,' says winemaker Julian Langworthy of this 100% Cabernet which won the Jimmy Watson trophy in 2016 for Australia's best young red wine. 'After four years working with the vineyards [planted in 1985 and 1987] I thought I was getting a handle on it. I guess I was!' Elegant yet with imposing ripeness of regal purple and inky, minerally blue fruit, it has a distinctive note of parma violets. Bright acidity and powder-fine tannins from 18 months in barrique will see it age beautifully. Delicious!" - 97 Points, Tina Gellie, Decanter
