Wine Description
The fruit for this single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from an outstanding parcel at Hazel’s Vineyard in southern Margaret River. Fragrant aromas of wild thyme, violets and black currant are tempered with savoury black olive tapenade, tobacco leaf and a gravel dust undertone. The fleshy palate reveals maraschino cherries, cassis and graphite supported by a framework of firm but fine tannins providing length and definition to the palate.
A purist’s Cabernet; unfined and unfiltered, this is an elegant expression of Hazel’s Vineyard with harmony, balance and integrity.
