Score 96/100 · James Suckling, Feb 2019
Dark plums, dark cherries, vivid blackcurrants, bark and heather. Full-bodied with a forthright tannin backbone but lots of fleshy black fruit to build an integrated picture and a long, chewy finish. Drink in 2024.

Made up of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot aged 19 months in 75% new French oak, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Sleeping Lady Vineyard is deep garnet-purple colored and opens with crushed black cherries, blackberries and warm plum notes with a core of cassis, cedar, cigars and baking spices plus a hint of roses. The palate is full-bodied with a velvety frame and earthy layers giving way to a savory finish. 170 cases produced.
