James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
14 months in French oak (55% new). 2017 was a cool year yet the best of the cabernets produced in that vintage are concentrated, dense and full of pedigree and flavour. Cassis, mulberry, salted black licorice and Szechuan peppercorns. Very long, very dense and lots going on. In his wisdom, my uncle once told me, 'The secret to a good party is too loud, too busy and too dark.' This wine has all the makings of a great party – everything crammed into the bottle with the endurance to go long.
Our finest cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon from the heart of Margaret River. The gravelly soils of the vineyard are flanked by the dominant native hard wood trees named Jarrah. Jarrah trees have become a favourable and exact biological indicator that the site is ideally matched to Cabernet Sauvignon.
Fruit expression from this site includes violets, cassis and mulberry. Indeed, mulberry is a very attractive fruit character which is a unique part of the terroir expression of Margaret River Cabernet and our local heritage clone. This cuvee is named to reflect this unique mulberry character; Morus australis being the genus and species name for the mulberry tree.
