This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced entirely from the 10-hectare Profile Estate Vineyard, a site composed of 17 distinct blocks spread across three ridgelines with varied exposures. That geological and climatic complexity translates directly into the wine. The grapes ferment for approximately 21 days on the skins, and the wine is aged for 20 months in 80% new French oak. Impressively balanced, it sidesteps the typically uber-ripe profile of the warm vintage in favour of precision and focus. Super-pure blackberry and blueberry fruit lead the charge, joined by traces of fig and dark chocolate. The palate is layered and sculpted, with fine-grained tannins dusted in cocoa powder, while the finish turns decidedly mineral, all pure graphite—almost liquefied—bringing freshness, tension, and momentum to a long, persistent close.
