Pretty restrained and balanced, part of my recalibrating of what's coming out of Australia these days. A little minty, and showcasing the herbal/pepper side of cabernet, along with modest red current and plum. Interesting.

Blackberries and cocoa on the nose. Follows through on the palate. Long finish. Needs to be decanted for it to open more.

A great, soft cab. Very flavorful but not too much bite.
