They do not make wine every year, preferring to concentrate on the great years. 2004 Cabernet is a great wine. Rated 94 points in the 2007 James Halliday Wine Companion

Soft acid, new French oak, which shows forward as vanilla flavours. Citrus fruits and apples. Subtle acid treatment. A great wine to have as an aperitif or with white meat.
