Huon Hooke awarded our 2014 Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon 95 points, and described it as "beautifully flavoured and intense in the mouth, poised and elegant with tight, refined structure and good persistence." This is the same vintage that won Gold at the Margaret River Wine Show in 2017, as did the 2013 and 2015 vintages.
