this firmly structured wine bears the hallmarks of true cool climate Cabernet. Richly flavoured palate with integrated oak and fruit tannins a solid core of blackberry fruit is overlain and enhanced with a sprinkling of chocolate and coffee. Cellaring for 8 years plus will develop complexity.

Beautiful fruit sourced from Mount Barker has gone into this excellent stylish and elegant cabernet. Deep, dark and inky; a complex black olive bouquet, with a very rich, powerful and heady mix of cassis, cedar and a little violet thrown in for good measure. Excellent firm structure threads through the controlled intense and balanced palate. A little astringency on the finish. Plenty of blackcurrant and savoury plum flavours with a touch of cedary oak. Cellar 6 years.

Intertwining aromas and flavours of rhubarb, sour cherries, and smokey herbal spice excite the senses and deliver surprise. Harvested from a small block in Frankland River, the Nautica Cabernet is unfined and a true expression typical of the elegant approachable tannin of this cool climate region.

Even better than the last one. A fantastic wine with an amazing concentration of mulberry, plum and rose petal on the nose.The palate has chalky tannins, red plums and a touch of cocoa and vanilla. Yum!

Dark red with a crimson hue, aromas of dark red with a crimson hue. An elegant palate, flavours of plum, forest fruits and mocha, with some underlying savoury notes such as dry herb. Integrated oak characters compliment the fruit, the tannins are fine with good persistence.

'There's some pretty exciting wine coming from the Frankland River region in Great Southern. Not only are there some fine wineries and winemakers in the region, the climate seems to be well suited to growing premium wines. Not a bad combination, in my view. The establishment up the road in Margaret River should be very proud to see another WA region making such fantastic wines, but it should also be wary of complacency. Singlefile has been on my radar for a while and it seldom puts a foot wrong. This cabernet from the Riversdale Vineyard is further proof of its credentials. It's got just the right amount of fruit, balanced with some more complex savoury characters and a palate that has the tension between tannin, acid and fruit in complete harmony. This is a wine of style and grown-up grace and confidence from a relatively young region...' - Canberra Times, 31 May 2014, by Fergus McGhie.

Appearance Vibrant dark crimson. Nose Dried bay leaf, mulberries and crushed violet. Palate Fine, chalky tannins with a brooding core of blueberries and hintsof cedar. This is a rich and persistent wine that will reward careful cellaring.
