Production Notes
2014: Harvested from our finest heritage blocks during the idyllic 2014 growing season. The tightly-wound, gravelly tannins have laced together beautifully with the brisk acidity and generous fruit, revealing a Cabernet of complexity and finesse. Drink now to 2034.
2013: A warm, dry ripening season together with lower yields produced a concentrated Cabernet which, a decade on, is developing beautifully. In a great drinking window with intensity and complexity, yet also displays elegance and balance. Drink now to 2030.
2012: With fantastic ripening towards the end of the growing season, the 2012 vintage produced a cabernet that is looking incredibly bright and youthful. A wine of great structure, complexity and depth, that still has many years of cellaring ahead. Drink now to 2029.
2011: The warm growing season provided ideal conditions to craft a rich, complex Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot. Currently sitting in a superb drinking window, with juicy, sweet dark berry fruit notes still in prime position and just a hint of what’s to come as the wine softens into earthy, chocolatey maturity. The wine's richness, complexity and elegant, chalky tannins are best exposed by decanting. Drink now to 2026.
2010: From a near perfect growing season, this is a complex and beautifully balanced wine displaying lifted dark berry fruit, earthy tones, dark chocolate and bay leaf. Fine, layered tannins, seamlessly integrated French oak and extraordinary length complete the package which will only improve with age. Drink now to 2030.
2009: Using one of our highest ever percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend has created a structural, rich, yet balanced wine with exceptional length and longevity. Dark cassis and mulberry fruits, savoury dark chocolate, bayleaf and soft spice notes, fine grained tannins and seamlessly integrated toasty oak. Drink now to 2029.
