Trinity Hill Prison Block Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
"Dark purples and reds, almost black at the core, opaque. The bouquet is impressive and ripe with aromas of dark red berries with layers of boysenberry and blackberry, violets and anise, new leather and blond tobacco, brown spices and significant youthful energy. Near full-bodied, dry, firm, youthful and textured. A highly energised wine with a core of power. Tannins are ripe and firm, acidity delivers backbone carrying flavours and textures across the palate. Lengthy complex and delicious. A wine that can sit in your cellar for some time or decant for service. Best drinking from 2029 through 2039" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jul 2024
"Dense, inky red with cedar, blackberry, wood-smoke, cacao powder, new leather and spicy oak flavours. The wine shows good varietal definition, is well-structured and obviously built to last, A lengthy finish with a small stab of bitterness" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, The Real Review, Oct 2023
A youthful, dark purple/magenta colour paves way to intense aromas of ripe blackberries and blackcurrants, complemented by a beautiful floral perfume and hints of fresh cedar, dried herbs and toast. The wine is rich and concentrated in the mouth yet retains the elegance, structure and restraint characteristic of great Cabernet Sauvignon. Ripe black fruit flavours, savoury oak, fine-grained tannins and succulent acidity combine to produce an authoritative, vibrant and textural palate with an exceptionally long finish. A quintessential Cabernet Sauvignon of power and poise that will reward cellaring for up to 15 years.
Hand harvested fruit was destemmed to obtain 100% whole berries and transferred either to a small open-top or large closed-top fermenter. The fermenting must was either gently plunged twice or pumped over once per day to extract colour and tannin. Total time on skins ranged from 19 to 29 days before the two wines were, pressed, settled and transferred to new 225-litre French oak barriques for maturation.
