Winemaker Notes

Deep dark red color. Aromas of currants, blueberry and juniper, bouquet garni and fresh earth. The palate is built on lots of fresh blue and red fruits. Bright flavors with energy and verve, along with hints of dusty earth, weave through the mid-palate with complexing notes of bay leaf, juniper and green tobacco leaf. Acid is fresh but balanced whilst tannins kick in mid-palate and run along with the fruit profile. Notes of coffee grounds and chocolate add complexity through the finish.

Critical Acclaim

This has a very plush, ripe and essence-like blackcurrant core with blueberries and a sleek, plush tannin build on the palate. Chocolate and earthy nuances. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator
This shows off plenty of precision and balance, with wild blueberry, huckleberry and black currant flavors that sing out amid details of peppermint tea, red licorice and fresh sage. The tannins are dense but polished, delivering plenty of oomph on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2032.

Based all on Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in new French oak, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Sexy Beast is loaded with notions of blackcurrants, smoked earth, tobacco, and high-class cigar wrapper. With medium to full body, tons of intensity balanced by a real sense of elegance, and a great finish, it’s another satisfying, impeccably made wine from this estate.

The 2018 Sexy Beast Cabernet Sauvignon features classy hints of pencil shavings, mint and cassis. It shows appropriate varietal restraint on the palate, gliding along in a streamlined, focused manner without being tight or ungenerous. It's medium-bodied and silky yet firm, with a long finish.
