Hilltops Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 Deep red-purple; clean cassis/blackcurrant fruit aromas are followed by a palate anchored on blackcurrant fruit, but multi-faceted, with a tangy, savoury edge, and well-worked oak. The components are in balance but needs time to weld together. 89/100 James Halliday's 2004 Australian Wine Companion

Deep red with purple edges. The ripe varietal cabernet characters of cassis and mint are backed by a subtle herb and wood influence. Solidly structured on the palate with an ample flavour weight of blackberry fruits assisted by a firm tannin backbone. Highly Recommended
