This reserve Cabernet is a deserving testament to him; to his passion, his grit, his down-right stubbornness, and his relentless efforts to grow the best fruit possible.

Reviews
Mighty good example of McLaren Vale cabernet sauvignon. Comes off a block planted in 1948 with an unknown clone. Made in a similar way to the grenache and shiraz with open fermentation, indigenous yeasts and no sulphur, tannin or acid added. S you might expect it has the highest percentage of new French oak influence which is easily accommodated by the fruit intensity. There is a slightly leather, iron filings rust-like character which I find most appealing as it complements the vibrant dark fruits. Distinctive. 95 points (2020 vintage)
