Wine Critic Reviews
The 2022 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon hails from a warm and dry vintage in Margaret River, one that is showing to be a very high-quality Cabernet vintage. The palate shows a pure core of raspberry and blood orange, nori and raw cocoa, even chinotto-esque in its leanings, with bramble and forest floor, graphite and cracked fennel seed. This is a velvety, tightly controlled, compact and excellent wine. The oak shows ever so slightly on the nose, in the form of malt biscuit and aniseed. This will be quickly subsumed by the fruit in a short time. The wine will be released April/May 2025.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Art Series is a classically styled Margaret River expression that shows elegance and confidence, with vibrant red currant and leaf, topped by a touch of raspberry and a hint of dried herbs. Quality oak sits in the background. The palate is mid weight and surprisingly tannic, with a strong core of cedary cassis flavors building toward a well structured finish. This will shine with a little more time in bottle.
