We didn’t set out to make a single block wine but a number of emotional factors influenced the decision. In 2013, when the first vintage of this wines was made, a batch stood out in the barrel selection tasting as being a cut above the rest. It was decided that it would be sacrilegious to blend away its uniqueness.

The next and more profound influence was the fact that the founder of Juniper, Roger Hill, tragically died a couple of months after the 2013 vintage. Roger’s vision was to make a truly great Margaret River Cabernet. This single block Cabernet is the culmination of the vision and experience of many. A tribute to the vineyard, the region and the man, RNH.

Brilliant deep carmine red in appearance. The bouquet reveals beguiling red & black fruits garlanded with Mediterranean herbs, a touch of mocha & vanillin oak. The palate is full-bodied, bold & muscular. Powerfully fleshy concentrated Cabernet fruit is corseted by chewy but ripe tannins & gossamer-like acidity. Formidable length.

95 Points, Halliday Wine Companion

“Fruit from Block 7, matured for 18 months in French oak (50% new). Underpinned by very good length of cabernet flavour. The oak feels a little heavy handed at this stage, the lingering impression laced with licorice and star anise. It is succulent, dense and concentrated, no doubt, however the 2016 vintage (brilliant for cabernet sauvignon, yet in many cases defined by tannin and acid) makes a hard stamp on this wine. It will live interminably in the cellar without question. Drink by 2051.” Rating: 95/100

Deepish red colour with feint purple tint on the rim. The bouquet is oak dominated at first sniff, the palate drying and tannin-driven with a touch of chew and old fashioned styling. It’s hard to see the cabernet fruit here. A hearty decant is recommended. The wine has serious depth and concentration, and responds well to generous swirling in the glass. Drink 2021 – 2034.
