Specially selected parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon have been blended to produce this wine for the Awakening range. The wine displays complex aromas of blackcurrant, liquorice and choc mint, with hints of mocha. On the palate, the dense velvety texture is complemented by cigar box, black olive notes followed by fine silky tannins from 18 months maturation in French oak barriques.

“Unlike many other regions in Australia, the 2011 vintage was a cracker in Margaret River and this Cabernet reaped the benefits, winning Gold medals at the 2013 Royal Melbourne Wine Show and 2014 Mundus Vini International Wine Show. A distinguished aged red, its acidity is still fresh with a lovely tannin foundation driving the integrated core of dark fruit and quality oak”.
96 Points James Halliday Wine Companion
There is no question this is high quality Cabernet, and that the handling of French Oak has been sensitive; vibrant casis, redcurrant and superfine tannins are cradled in perfectly integrated French oak. Is one of those wines that can be enjoyed young or old.
