Tasting Notes

  • Colour

    Deep red/ purple hues.

    Blackberry and blackcurrant evident at first and followed by satsuma plum characters.

  • Palate

    Herbaceous, capsicum flavours at the front palate. Blackberry and satsuma plum characters are supported by firm tannins leading to a lingering finish.

Reviews and Awards

  • James Halliday Review

    Made by the omniscient Mike Farmilo, who suddenly seems to be everywhere across my recent tastings. He makes a bit of wine in the region, so to speak. Hand picked, open fermented and a meagre 10 days on skins. Why not longer? Cabernet is about real tannin. Yet it all works well in a fairly soft, polished fashion. Cassis, green olive, verdant herb and a scrub of sage-laden tannins. Long and plush.
