2019 Collection Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon - 93 Points
100% cabernet. There’s no denying its regional stamp with mulberries, ironstone, cassis and leafy freshness setting the foundation. Violets, bitter chocolate, green walnut and sweet, spicy cedar oak add a certain depth to the full-bodied palate, as do the plentiful tannins. Drink 2023 - 2034.

2020 Collection Heathcote Shiraz - 95 Points
Fruit comes off 2 unnamed yet disparate sites – one northern and warmer, the other southern and cooler. Destemmed, hand sorted, 2 weeks on skins and aged in French puncheons, 30% new, for 11 months. An excellent dark red with a purple tinge; dark plums, bay leaves, sweet cedary oak, baking spices and an earthy ferrous note set the regional and varietal flavours. It’s deep, rich and concentrated, with plush savoury tannins sashaying across the full-bodied palate, yet this doesn’t feel weighty. It’s complex, detailed and refreshing in its own way. Drink 2022 - 2030. Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
