Huon Hooke
Deep red colour with purple tints. Strong cabernet leafy and blackcurrant aromas, fresh and bright. The palate shows some overt acidity as well as quite assertive tannins. A slightly straightforward wine with bold flavour and substantial grip.

Benefiting in no small part from relegation of fruit otherwise destined for Bin 707 and 169, this is a varietally accurate style of black and redcurrant fruit, capsicum and dried herbs. It's tangy, crunchy, lively, fragrant and earthy, finishing edgy with firm tannins and green capsicum notes. Drink to 2026.
