2023 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

A classic Watervale Cabernet — black fruit, cedar and cigar box, built to cellar. 🖤NoseBlack fruits, cigar box, cedar 🍒PalateDark fruit, raspberry, cherry 🪵FinishStructured, firm tannin Grown on the Crabtree Estate in the heart of Watervale, this Cabernet leads with plush cedar and cigar box over a core of black fruit — the kind of bouquet that tells you exactly what's coming. Dark red fruit broods across the palate, with raspberry lifting at the edges and cherry and blackberry filling in through the middle. The finish is where it earns its keep: structured and firm, built for the cellar rather than the Tuesday table. Drink now with something rich, or forget about it for a decade and be rewarded.

In the Clare Valley it ripens into a firmer, more savoury style than its warmer-climate cousins, with cedar and cigar box notes that come from careful oak handling rather than heat.
