Minor Label Stain/s Awards, Ratings & Reviews 98/100 — James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion · 2012 Vintage (Tasted 18 Mar 2014)“Deep, healthy crimson-purple; the Wendouree blends bring wonderful complexity to the table, but this wine in particular brings purity, its flood of cassis fruit on the bouquet and palate awesomely mouthwatering and drawn out, not trimmed back by the brambly, savoury tannins. If there is better tannin structure in an Australian cabernet, I am yet to see it.” ?/100 — James Suckling · 2012 Vintage (Tasted Feb 2015)“A striking wine with creeping allure and an expression of cabernet sauvignon that is as unique as it is profoundly great. There are reticent leafy Aussie bush notes, redder cabernet berries and very discreet oak spice with some sweet earth too. Subtle complexity here; it smells gentle and mellow. Terrific fine tannin spread and a lithe juicy core, this floats and fills the mouth effortlessly. The depth is deceptive, as this is one incredibly elegant cabernet with a profound long and even web of tannin that commands the finish with assertion. Very pure and bright, full of energy and drive, the greatest young Wendouree I have tasted. Drink in 2019.” 95/100 — The Wine Front · 2012 Vintage 93/100 — CellarTracker · 2012 Vintage Specifications Vintage: 2012 Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Region: Clare Valley / South Australia / Australia Alcohol: 13.3% Closure: Screwcap Drinking Window: 2014–2062
