Levantine Hill Optume Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted by Paul Bridgeman from select Yarra Valley vineyard parcels, this flagship Cabernet showcases poise, depth, and longevity. Aromas of blackcurrant, mulberry, and cassis are intertwined with bay leaf, graphite, and subtle cedar from fine French oak. The palate is elegantly structured, with refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and layers of dark fruit, tobacco, and cocoa unfolding with precision. A core of mineral freshness drives a long, graceful finish. Awarded 96 points by Halliday Wine Companion, this is a masterful cool-climate Cabernet, equally compelling now or after extended cellaring for added complexity and grandeur.
