Critic tasting note: "From Eden Valley's most famed winery, this Cabernet blends small amounts of Cab Franc and Merlot for a classy, cellar-worthy wine. At six years old, it's drinking well now, although it needs time in the decanter to reveal its true colors. Still bright cherry and plum fruit weaves with warm stone mineral and dried herbal notes. Tannins remain firm and grainy in texture, and fruit on the palate is still juicy and herb flecked right to the long finish. A polished, restrained and well-balanced wine that should continue aging gracefully for another five years or so. Christina Pickard" - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast
Producer Notes
This wine carries the name of Stephen’s father, Cyril Henschke (1924-1979), as a tribute to one of Australia’s outstanding winemaking pioneers, renowned for old-vine single-vineyard and quality varietal table wines. Cyril planted cabernet sauvignon at the Henschke Eden Valley vineyard in the 1960s. The cabernet sauvignon vines, along with cabernet franc and merlot, are planted on a north facing slope, grown using organic and biodynamic practices. This wine celebrates the incredible beauty that emerges from the vibrant rows of the Eden Valley vineyard, revered for its texture, depth, complexity and fine-grained tannins.
