2023 Homestead Cabernet Sauvignon - 91pts Halliday Wine Companion

$35.00

Barossa Cabernet made in the right hands is as unique and interesting as its famous partner, Barossa Shiraz.

The ‘Homestead’ displays distinctive varietal characters of cassis, dark chocolate, prune juice and plums, with edges of mint and herb complementing the savoury, tight knit French oak background.

91 points Halliday Wine Companion - Marananga-sourced cabernet sauvignon. 100% whole berries; 12 day ferment; matured in French oak (15% new) for 16 months. Bright crimson with a rush of blackberry and blackcurrant pastille with hints of dried herbs, dark spice, licorice, cedar, crushed leaf, cherry paste and earth. There's a medium-bodied fruit flow, compact, silty tannins and plenty of vitality and verve on the back end.

2022 - 93 points Halliday Wine Companion

Western Ridge cabernet sauvignon matured in French and American oak. Deep crimson with aromas of deep blackberry, blackcurrant and black cherry with hints of fine spice, cassis, earth, licorice, dried herbs, cedar and vanillin. Plush fruit flow on the palate with ripe fruit, compact fine tannins and a seam of fresh acidity driving the wine along nicely. Drink to 2035
