Tasting Notes:

2013 is a gentle year that has yielded wines of great potential. The growing period presented a minor frost event in September and a cool early flowering period. Reduced and variable fruit set in early flowering blocks impacted yields particularly for Cabernet Sauvignon. Overall yields were 5% down on the already reduced 2012 vintage. However, the ripening season has yielded Cabernet of exceptional quality.

Only the finest Cabernet vineyards in Langhorne Creek contributed to Directors’ Cut. The old vine fruit is the cornerstone of this wine’s character. The fruit was harvested at night to retain freshness. Initial skin contact was followed by 7 days of cool fermentation with our Rhône isolate yeast and hand-plunging three times daily. Maturation then occurred in new oak hogsheads (both French and American) for approximately 14 months.

The weight of fruit in Directors’ Cut Cabernet Sauvignon showcases how much of Langhorne Creek Ben can fit into one bottle. An almost impenetrable core of fruit is seasoned with dark spice like licorice, nutmeg and anise. The long finish heralds many years of future ageing and assures the palate of great quality. The enjoyment of this fine wine need not be delayed, but age will bring dividends.

Accolades & Awards:

95 Point Rated & 5 Stars Russ Gallagher Vino Masters
"Beautifully mature and complex, opening with cassis, blackberry and dark plum layered with cedar, tobacco, graphite and earthy spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and exceptional composure. Concentrated black fruit flows through the entry before notes of cocoa, dried herbs and savoury oak emerge through the mid-palate with remarkable detail and persistence. The finish is long, elegant and beautifully resolved with lingering cassis and earthy complexity. A superbly mature Cabernet Sauvignon displaying elegance and complexity."

91 Point Rated - James Halliday Halliday Wine Companion
"Initial cold soak, then open-fermented, plunged three times daily for 7 days, matured for 14 months in new French and American hogsheads. A wine that will please most, but not all; Langhorne Creek cabernet's soft tannins mean discretion where oak is needed, saving money while making an even better wine."

Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Deep but forward-developed red colour with barely any purple tint. The bouquet is earthy, graphite and tobacco-savoury, more Right Bank Bordeaux than Left. Earthy, pebbly and forward-developed. The palate is likewise: full-bodied and firm in its tannins, but very savoury and mellow already. It's more than a simple varietal cabernet. Future uncertain."
