2024 Corymbia 'Calgardup' Cabernet Sauvignon

96 Points - Angus Hughson, Vinous

“The 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon Calgardup Vineyard immediately impresses with bold blackcurrant and black olive aromas that are forceful and display a strong, muscular shape. Powerful flavors of licorice, gravel and graphite are well matched to deep-set tannins as the wine ripples with youthful intensity. A fabulous structural finish of immense length is the icing on the cake.”

96 Points - Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate

“The 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon leads with cassis and bramble, lavender, raspberry seed, dark chocolate, blood plum and a hint of nori. The palate is shaped by chalky tannins that move with the shape of the fruit in the mouth. This is all about dried herbs—sage and bay in particular—blue fruits and licorice, star anise and that top-order register of rising spices that move into "mint" without being "minty." This is a distinctive wine that I love each vintage, and given the quality (attention to detail) of the viticulture, the wine looks good/distinct/sophisticated in every season.”

95 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

“This is a powerful expression from this vineyard. Black fruit, iodine, liquorice, samphire, roasted nuts, chamomile and dried roses. It’s medium to full-bodied, quite ferrous and firm, lots of gravel and grip to it, there’s almost a peaty character here, then blue and black fruit, some juicy raspberry, balanced acidity, with a saline green olive and dried herb finish of excellent length. There’s a Sagrantino sort of thing happening here, Italianate in a way, and thoroughly nourishing in another. Outstanding.”
