Intriguing violet and lavender florals entwine with deeper notes of moss and soy, lending a crisp definition to both the nose and palate. Both gentle and bright, this wine expands on the palate with a cloudlike volume. Classic dark fruits layer with unexpected nuances of crunchy green olive and pink peppercorn, creating complexity and intrigue. Lingering and distinctive tannin sensations are the hallmark of this beautiful old vineyard.
Wynns Harold was the first Wynns single vineyard wine from 2001 vintage. The 2013 marks its second single vineyard release. Harold vineyard ripened evenly giving the wine the freshness and delicacy to age. Given the right conditions, this Cabernet Sauvignon will be a great gem in the cellar.
97 Points - James Halliday
"The Harold Vineyard was planted 45 years go, and has always produced high quality cabernet - this vintage stood out, hence its single vineyard status. It has a deliciously supple juicy mouthfeel and flavour, and I believe it will prove to be one of the best releases since this programme of ever-changing single vineyards began a decade ago. Beautiful cabernet, perfectly made."
97 Points - Bob Campbell Master Of Wine
"The second release of this single vineyard wine (the first was on 2001). A core of dense sweet fruit with juicy cassis, floral, violet and a suggestion of aromatic fresh herb flavours. A remarkable wine for its ethereal complexity and accessibility despite offering great cellaring potential."
94 Points - Huon Hooke
"Bright, deep purple/red colour. Youthful for its age. Bright, fresh, clean berry aromas, fruit uppermost. Violets, blackberries. A lovely elegant, fine-boned, pure fruit style of cabernet. The fruit does all the talking; oak is very much in the background, and the tannins are mild and gentle."
