Nocturne Single Vineyard Sheoak Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

“The 2023 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Sheoak Vineyard and leads with all the purity, precision, and balance that we have come to expect from the glorious 2023 season. You get cassis, raspberry pip, dried herbs, sheets of nori, iodine, and leather. The wine is potently intense; the fruit penetrates the palate and stains it with flavor. The wine is still opening up—so young as to be inchoate—with a long, bright future ahead. It has a glittery, purple, shimmering sort of vibrancy to it, as if lit by its own inner light. Margaret River is at its greatest when wines are like this—concentrated in flavor, weighty yet not heavy, with resolved, ductile tannins and purity of fruit. Unstoppable.” 97+ Points – Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate

“A classy Cabernet with all manner of heady aromas and flavours. Expect a combo of mulberries, blackberries, and currants, freshly ground coffee beans, and iodine, plus lots of menthol. There are more savoury inputs of nori and tapenade, with cedary oak just-so. Fuller-bodied yet beautifully modulated with exceptional tannins.” 96 Points – Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
