2023 Rocky Road Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

This classic Cabernet Sauvignon presents lifted aromas of red currants, violets, and savoury olive tapenade. Underlying bay leaf and dark chocolate elements are moderated by subtle earthy notes. Soft black fruits fill a silky palate that abounds with cassis and mocha. This bright Cabernet Sauvignon displays firm yet velvety tannins delivering approachability as well as the ability to age over the medium-long term.

2023 Vintage Report

A season of great balance, which produced wines of grace, perfume, and longevity. Winter was wet and cold, and we experienced a cool but dry spring. Good flowering conditions secured good yields.  Summer was dry with relatively mild temperatures leading into January; Summer bought fantastic weather with warm, sunny, and breezy days, but without heat stress for the vines. Excellent diurnal temperature variation set us up for a highly aromatic vintage, with freshness and perfect phenological ripeness.
