Sip a 94pt Cabernet from popular, celebrated Pikes estate of Clare Valley, “From one of their oldest estate vineyards, now forty plus years of age... a fine line of juicy acidity, sleek tannins and good balance," (WinePilot). "… elegant yet quite distinctly potent … feels delightful to drink, not afraid to be restrained and reserved, yet offering up all the flourish of the variety. 94pts” (Mike Bennie, The Halliday Wine Companion). Pikes is a family business with drinks - beer, soft drinks and wine – in their history since the family arrived in the Clare Valley in 1868. Pikes is a very popular destination and brand, as illustrated by its winning the Halliday Wine Companion’s People's Choice Award in 2022 and 2023.

With plenty of blackberry, plum, mulberry and menthol-like fruit and fine, rusty, almost unyielding tannins, this is a strong, firm wine by Wendouree with plenty of lasting power. The Shiraz component derives from vineyard plots that include bush vine material. Parcels of very old vine Malbec bring further distinctiveness. The wine is vinified in open fermenters and matured for 12 months in new and used French oak.

This hand made wine is both complex and rewarding having no filtration prior to bottling to preserve the rich plum and spicy fruit flavours. All fruit was estate grown and sourced from low yielding, hand pruned and picked vines.

This wine is generous and rounded at first with juicy, deep berry compote fruits then yielding to a tightly woven frame of firm yet generous tannins. There are alluring, coconutty oak and fine dark chocolate characters, with a deep, soft centre of ripe berry fruits. Elegant acids and light, long tannins carry the palate to deliver a lingering finish.

Made by one of the best producers in the Clare Valley to highlight the best characters of the region. Lifted aromas of black olive and spicy plums lead into a stylish and seemless palate.
