A serious Yarra Valley Cabernet that is a benchmark example of the variety in the region.

The nose is defined by piercing blackberry and mulberry fruit that's interwoven by cedar and a veneer of new French oak spice.

Black fruits are brooding and expansive, oak gives elegance and fine lines; tannins have a dark chocolate edge and along with fresh earth give a savory aspect to the wine.

The finish flows with blackberry with final and lasting embellishments from leather and vanillin spice.
