Margaret River began the growing season with a rain filled soil profile and full catchments. Late spring was mild and windy with a 4 day period of damaging north westerly during flowering. This common spring weather pattern did affect flowering, set and yields in some varieties. Other than the blustery start, the vintage was uniformly warm to hot and without significant summer rains. With yields below average, the wines produced from the 2013 vintage are full of ripe varietal fruit, bright acidity and supple tannins. This vintage is excellent for Cabernet Sauvignon.

Rich aromas of cinnamon & blackcurrant with underlying bay leaf savoury, finished with warm tobacco flavours.

Luscious and dense blueberry and plum layers with a hint of cedar. Underlying cinnamon complexity, with a hint of leather. A perfectly balanced wine of well knitted tannin, acid structure & length.

Deep garnet.
