EXPERT REVIEW

94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The inky purple 2016 Trueman Cabernet Sauvignon is a super effort. It boasts intense, classic aromas of pencil shavings and cassis on the nose, then delivers rich waves of velvety but structured fruit on the full-bodied palate. If there's any complaint, it's that it's perhaps a bit too monolithic, but it's a young wine and should add layers of complexity given enough time in the cellar. It's not unapproachable now, but it probably won't fully hit its stride for at least five years and then be drinkable for at least a decade after that.

A unique contoured and sloping vineyard with high elevation, ancient geology and cooling breezes, which funnel through from the hills above and the coast below. Wines crafted by Napa Valley mountain winemaker Chris Carpenter (Bordeaux varietals) and Yangarra winemaker, Peter Fraser (Rhône varietals). Vineyard is certified Australian Organic and Biodynamic and a certified member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia. Global acclaim: 95-99 points from renowned international reviewers including the Halliday Wine Companion, The Real Review and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
