“Pure black currant fruit aromas intermingle with some gentle olive tapenade and cedar notes while the medium-bodied palate is supported by very persistent and fine-grained tannins.'

“Tasted as a barrel sample that is due to come out of oak in two to three weeks' time from tasting, the 2014 Matthew Cabernet Sauvignon shows deep garnet-purple in color. On the palate, it is rich, ripe and very intense, with firm ripe tannins and great length. This wine has great potential!"

“Deep, youthful purple/red colour. The bouquet is cedary, herby, cassis and blueberry-like and stylish, more reserved than the other Woodlands reds, still needing time to blossom fully. Intense and quite concentrated, it has good, ripe but firm, fine-grained tannins in abundance. It will richly reward cellaring. Outstanding cabernet. (4% malbec, 2% cab franc)"
