Expert Reviews

Rating 96 - JAMES SUCKLING'S TOP 100 WINES OF AUSTRALIA

There is a lot to like in this refined and powerful 2016 vintage. Deep blackcurrant, plum and earthy aromas, as well as leaves, redcurrants, cherries and blueberries. The palate has beautifully complete tannins that roll effortlessly along smooth, elegant lines. Fruit is impeccably fresh. This is packed with aromas of red darker berries. Some warm and spicy oak to close. Drink or hold.

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep crimson with purple edges, very youthful.

Aroma

The generosity of the nose displays abundant brooding black fruits and a mix of dark cherries. The bouquet is completed with hints of cocoa nibs, flint, wild thyme and orange peel.

Palate

A vibrancy of concentrated blackberry fruits with dark bramble and vanilla spice. The dense and refined tannins are velvety and supple and the finish has lingering hints of minerality and mocha nuances.

Food Matching

Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon is your best friend with pan roasted veal chops with rosemary and a bordelaise sauce. The winemakers also suggest peppercorn coated hanger steak with mushroom ragout. For desert, a chocolate fondant at least 70% cocoa content for a perfect finish.

Cellaring

This wine has the structure and the intensity to be cellared for up to 20-30 years

Blend

Cabernet Sauvignon 86%, Petit Verdot 10%, Merlot 4%
