The 2012 Howard Park Scotsdale Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Barker, Great Southern earned 97 points from James Halliday, 94 from The Wine Front and 92 from Huon Hooke.
Picture perfect, not a hair out of place as the blackcurrant fruit, a touch of black olive and cedary oak flows seamlessly along the supremely elegant palate. - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion (97 pts)

Critic Reviews
97 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
“From the near-40yo estate vineyard at Mount Barker; separate lots were either pressed at dryness or given post-ferment maceration, and kept separate during 20 months maturation in French oak (40% new). Picture perfect, not a hair out of place as the blackcurrant fruit, a touch of black olive and cedary oak flows seamlessly along the supremely elegant palate. Special. Closure: Screwcap. 14% alcohol. AUD$46 (Drink by 2042)”
94 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
“This 2012 cabernet release of Scotsdale certainly streets the shiraz. This is excellent. A ripper. So fine. Pure and dark of fruit but clear, measured, balanced, just right. Olives, earth, mineral, blackcurrant, rust-like notes, crushed leaves. Feels intricately woven. Length to match. (Drink between 2017-2027)”
