Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon Dark Ark 2016

This is an intense, rich, blueberry, blackberry and mulberry scented and flavoured wine with skyscraper-like texture, remarkable intensity, and terrific purity. The extravagant amounts of fruit conceal the new oak. The 2016 stands out for its power, purity, sweetness of fruit and tannin, great concentration and impeccable harmony.

100 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard is primarily cut from the same cloth and reveals a purple/ruby hue and a deep, profound bouquet of blue fruits, cassis, dried violets, Asian spices, vanilla-laced coffee, and a whiff of new leather. Complex, full-bodied, and magically textured, it packs loads of fruit and opulence yet stays flawlessly balanced, has silky tannins, no hard edges and a majestic, singular personality. As with the 2015, drink this exciting wine any time over the coming 30+ years.

98 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard has a deep garnet colour, exploding from the glass with bombastic scents of blueberry preserves, prunes and fruitcake, plus hints of dark chocolate, cinnamon stick, iris and bouquet garni. The full-bodied palate is an exercise in luxuriousness, featuring silken-textured, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length and loads of earthy accents.
