2018 MJW
“Handcrafted from our original heritage vines and a pure expression of Cabernet from our home in Stevens Valley. The 2018 vintage was exceptional, producing a finely structured and savoury wine bursting with complexity and allure. A wine that will be long lived.”

VINTAGE
Vineyard Notes
Excellent budburst was followed by a beautifully warm November; ideal flowering and fruit set conditions. Summer was quite mild and one of our wetter Decembers, with just a few hot days.
The warmer March weather saw reds ripen beautifully, and they were harvested under clear, sunny skies with ripe, concentrated flavours and excellent fine-grained silky tannins.
