Class Comments:
When Cabernet is made with thoughtfulness from the vine to the bottle it can be a serious player in the
Australian landscape. When the crop is high, it’s picked too ripe and pressed into too much new oak,
it becomes a challenging wine to drink. The consumer’s palate must be front of mind when dealing
with this grape. The wines that were rewarded showed not only a vibrancy for their age, but exciting
winemaking to give lift and a seductive perfume. Go Cabernet!
