Average Critic Score: 97.5/100
Just 1113 bottles produced.
Aromas of brambled fruits evolve to reveal cassis, mulberry, bay leaf, olive tapenade, and tobacco, creating a touch of the old-world character. The palate has complexity, poise and grace.
Arising from the 'Wyjup Vineyard' first planted in 1971, this wine forms our story and has given rise to its future.
Critic Reviews

“First release of this premium cabernet, named after one of the foundersb Lionel Samson. Fruit is sourced from the Wyjup vineyard, planted in 1971. Salted cassis and blackberry pie on the nose and palate. This is supple and elegant and although concentrated, it doesn't have the palate weight of the shiraz. This is not a bad thing, just interesting. Elegance and longevity live here side by side. A masterful first release, and quite delicious now or in decades to come.”
